WGI Acquires Alabama-based The Atlantic Group, LLC

“I am very excited that Brian Mayfield and his profession-leading team joined our WGI family,” said WGI’s CEO, David Wantman. “This addition allows us to fulfill a critical strategic goal of expanding our technology-driven geospatial services into the federal markets and statewide programs across the country, strengthening our already formidable and nationwide surveying and geospatial data practice.“ “At the same time, we are bringing many recognized geospatial experts into WGI. The timing of this acquisition is critical, as it corresponds with the ramping up of federal spending from the 2021 passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka Infrastructure Bill), a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness,” he added. WGI’s SVP/Geospatial, Bob Hanson added, “I am ecstatic about The Atlantic Group joining WGI and working with Brian -- a proven leader in our profession. This helps round out WGI’s technology and innovation-driven geospatial practice. The Atlantic Group's multi-sensor aerial acquisition capabilities, combined with WGI’s experience in using geospatial solutions for addressing engineering and environmental challenges, are a perfect complement of collective capabilities.” “In uniting forces with WGI, I’m excited about the growth opportunities for our associates. I am equally excited about the significant geospatial capabilities we can offer our existing and future clients,” Mayfield said. “I’m looking forward to the next step in our mutual growth, and in contributing to the continued success of WGI.”
