VoltGrid — Desktop GIS · CAD · BIM · 3D Digital Twin for the Electric Grid

Your grid deserves a living 3D digital twin. VoltGrid brings true 3D editing, analysis, real-time feeds, and desktop-as-a-server publishing to utility GIS and engineering teams — on-premises, no cloud required, fully capable when air-gapped.

Six core pillars

Everything a utility GIS team needs on the desktop — from true 3D editing to serving live endpoints across the LAN.

3D/Z GeoPackage Editor

True 3D editing with Z + M ordinates in open GeoPackage — the grid as it actually exists in space.

Desktop-as-a-Server

Publish LAN-wide OGC and ESRI-compatible endpoints straight from the desktop with zero infrastructure.

3D Visualization

I3S SceneLayers, Gaussian splats, and LiDAR point clouds rendered natively for corridor and asset review.

Analysis

Shadow/solar, viewshed, slope/aspect, and routing analysis built into the desktop workflow.

Real-Time Feeds

NOAA weather, USGS data, AIS vessels, FAA aircraft, and mesh network feeds overlaid live on your grid.

Data Mastery

30+ formats including GeoPackage, GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, and CAD (DWG/DXF/DGN) with rubber-sheeting.

Utility-focused capabilities

VoltGrid isn't a generic GIS with a utility skin — it ships electric-grid workflows out of the box and works operationally with GridState.

Network Tracing

Trace the network and preview feeder isolation before switching decisions are made.

As-Built vs. Design QA

Compare as-built data against design to catch discrepancies before they become field problems.

ROW Encroachment Detection

Automatically flag right-of-way encroachments along corridors.

Vegetation & Storm Damage

Corridor vegetation analysis and storm damage detection from imagery and LiDAR.

DER Hosting Capacity

Map distributed energy resource hosting capacity across the network.

OMS / SCADA Live Overlay

Overlay live operational data on the authoritative network model.

TAK / ATAK Crew Tracking

Track crews and coordinate storm response with TAK-based situational awareness.

EAM / CMMS Integration

Connect asset and work management systems including IBM Maximo and Cityworks.

Local AI / ML

On-device models — SAM2 segmentation, YOLO-E detection, local LLMs — with no data leaving your network.

Extended capabilities (v1.1 – v1.6)

A rapid release cadence keeps adding depth for imagery, sensors, databases, and offline operations.

Who uses VoltGrid

  • Utility GIS teams maintaining the authoritative network model.
  • T&D engineering departments working across design and as-built data.
  • Vegetation management programs monitoring corridors.
  • Storm & emergency operations that must run offline when it matters most.
  • Substation and asset teams reviewing 3D reality capture.
  • Field crews, inspectors, and utility consultants needing capable, portable tooling.

On-premises, no-cloud architecture designed for OT-environment safety — built for desk, substation, and storm.
