From field survey to checked, printed network design

Survey, design and manage electrification networks on one governed record: LV networks and MV lines, voltage drop at every customer, clearances on real terrain, and drawing sets that regenerate whenever the design changes.

What DS GridDesign is

DS GridDesign is the design and engineering workspace of Data Solutions. Surveyors, engineers and project managers work from one controlled record: poles, lines, transformers, customers, evidence, quantities, tasks and approvals. Capture offline, design on governed data, check every customer's voltage and every span's clearance, and print the drawing set again whenever the design changes.

  1. CaptureCrews record positions, forms, photos and network connections offline, already tied to the right project objects.
  2. DesignEngineers draft LV networks and MV/HV lines on the same record: poles, spans, structures, customers and cables.
  3. CheckVoltage at every customer, clearance at every surveyed point and loading on every section, against the project's standard.
  4. DeliverDrawing sets, plan-and-profile booklets, BOQs, reports and GIS files regenerate from the approved design.

Who it is for

Teams delivering electrical infrastructure who need one source of project truth from the first survey point to the issued drawing set.

  • Utilities
  • Engineering firms
  • EPC contractors
  • Survey and design teams
  • Agencies and programme owners

AI agents run the repeatable work through the same governed commands people use. Every publication, approval and issue remains a human decision.

What we build

Three integrated products covering the full electrification lifecycle.

DS Field

Mobile-first, offline-capable data capture for rural electrification surveys. Structured forms, GPS accuracy enforcement, photo geo-tagging and team sync.

DS GridDesign

MV/LV distribution network design with GIS integration, voltage-drop analysis, MV line engineering on surveyed terrain, automated bills of materials and printed drawing sets.

DS Solar

Design and optimize hybrid, thermal and photovoltaic power systems. Hour-by-hour performance simulation, financial analysis (LCOE, IRR, NPV) and automated reporting.

Where we work

Based in Kigali, Rwanda. Projects delivered across Central and West Africa.
