WGS Global
Workforce & Geospatial Services
Hydrographic Survey · Marine Geophysics · Marine Project Support
Hydrographic surveys, onboard positioning and data services for ports, coasts and marine works, with technical advice from scope definition to handover.
Powered by field experience.
A tailored WGS response can combine any of the following, with a single technical lead.
Pipelines and cables · Offshore energy · Ports and dredging · Development-bank funded programmes
01Survey & measure
Survey & Spatial
Bathymetric and coastal topographic surveys, drone mapping and specialist LiDAR inputs for ports, rivers and marine infrastructure.
Geophysics
Side-scan, sub-bottom and magnetic surveys to map seabed features, shallow geology and anomalies along sites and routes.
Metocean
Measurements of currents, waves, water levels and environmental parameters, with instrument deployment and data checks defined around your objective.
02Support operations & use the data
Field Delivery
Onboard survey, surface positioning and USBL support for marine works, cables and pipelines, offshore and nearshore.
Technical Advisory
Survey methods and equipment strategy, plus remote QC of supplier methodology, acquisition records and deliverables for your project team.
Data & QA/QC
Processing and reprocessing of hydrographic and geophysical data, structured GIS delivery and project-specific quality checks.
03Plan & coordinate the campaign
Planning & Optimisation
Survey planning, mobilisation coordination and progress reporting, with clear responsibilities and agreed handover requirements.
To plan a jetty, assess river access or monitor a coastline, your team needs water depths, ground levels and water-level measurements that can be compared.
We relate the survey data to the project’s agreed reference systems and deliver the maps, profiles or models needed for the next stage, with documented quality checks.
Go straight to the support that matches your project.
Oil & Gas
Route, pre-lay, as-laid and as-built surveys for pipeline works and landfalls, with onboard positioning, spread telemetry and tug management systems (TMS).
Offshore Wind & Cables
Site and route surveys, geophysical data for UXO assessment, and survey support for cable installation, burial, repair and landfalls, through to as-built records.
Ports, Harbours & Dredging
Bathymetric surveys, dredging-control measurements, charts and S-57 ENCs for approach channels and berths.
Coastal & River Infrastructure
Linked topographic, bathymetric and water-level surveys for rivers, jetties, landfalls and coastal monitoring.
Development Programmes
Baseline surveys and repeat monitoring in consistent reference systems for coastal and port programmes. Potential applications include the survey requirements of coastal-resilience programmes such as WACA, supported by the World Bank.
WGS supplies survey data for coastal studies and monitoring. The animation illustrates a coastal-engineering scenario to be assessed by the project’s engineering team.
Survey Companies & Contractors
A defined nearshore survey package, specialist processing or support to set up a survey team. We agree the interfaces and deliver to your project specification.
Personnel
A client representative on board or working remotely, party chiefs, surveyors and processors for a defined period.

The practical value is in the detail: method and equipment selection, positioning strategy, field readiness, quality control and agreed deliverables before mobilisation.
Charts, models, structured datasets or technical reviews: outputs and supporting documentation are agreed around your assignment.
For clients who need regular survey services, we are open to setting up a local survey company together with a local partner. We start from the project needs and build the team, equipment and technical support around them.
The aim is to recruit and train local people, deliver reliable survey services and build a lasting presence, supported by the WGS technical network. From a first assignment to a dedicated local team, we can explore the right approach together.
