Geo Week 2026 in Denver brings together professionals from across the geospatial, construction, and infrastructure sectors to explore how spatial data is reshaping field workflows. As utility and infrastructure projects continue to grow in scale and complexity, the focus is shifting toward tools that improve coordination, visibility, and decision-making directly in the field. For vGIS, Geo Week is an opportunity to demonstrate how augmented reality, LiDAR, and mobile GIS are coming together through vSite to modernize how teams plan, verify, and execute work on active jobsites.
Turning Data Into Field-Ready Insight
Utility construction depends on accurate information, but that information is often spread across site plans, locator data, inspection notes, and field sketches. At Geo Week, vGIS is highlighting new vSite capabilities designed to bring these datasets into a single, spatially aligned environment. By combining mobile LiDAR capture, GIS data, and AR visualization, field crews can see critical context directly on site instead of relying on paper plans or waiting for office-based processing.
A major focus this year is improving how utility locate data is captured and reviewed. Through new integrations with locating equipment, vSite allows field teams to visualize collected data immediately after capture. Rather than discovering gaps or inconsistencies later, crews can confirm results in real time and make adjustments while still on site. This approach helps reduce rework and supports more confident decision-making, particularly in congested or high-risk utility corridors.
Bringing Plans, Redlines, and Progress Together
Another key theme at Geo Week is the industry’s gradual shift away from paper PDFs toward fully digital site documentation. vGIS is introducing workflows that allow site plan PDFs, including construction drawings and utility sheets, to be brought directly into vSite and overlaid onto the map. This enables teams to compare planned designs with existing conditions and real-world observations in a single view.
New redlining and markup tools further support this transition. Field staff can annotate plans digitally, document changes, flag conflicts, and track progress without switching between paper documents and multiple software platforms. These updates help create a clearer record of what was planned, what was found in the field, and what was ultimately built, improving coordination between crews, engineers, and project managers.
Supporting Safer, More Informed Field Work
Across Geo Week, one message stands out: spatial awareness is becoming essential to safe and efficient construction. Whether navigating active utility installations, coordinating crews, or verifying clearances, teams need tools that reflect actual site conditions. By combining AR visualization with LiDAR and GIS data, vSite helps teams better understand their surroundings and make informed decisions in real time.
As Geo Week 2026 highlights the future of geospatial technology, vGIS remains focused on practical, field-driven solutions. From real-time utility visualization to digital plan management, the capabilities showcased reflect a broader shift toward connected, data-informed infrastructure workflows that reduce uncertainty and improve outcomes from planning through construction.
