projects

NextGen's project portfolio consist of an array of engineering and technical projects, completed for original equipment manufacturers, research laboratories, universities and technology end-users.  Some of our recent projects include the following;

Multi-Element Gas Container (MEGC)

The container system was designed for bulk natural gas (CNG) transport.  NextGen completed the engineering for the cylinder frame structure, along with the required structural analysis for obtaining regulatory approvals.

The cylinder frame structures install within modified shipping containers and utilize a specially designed mounting system.  Both mounting system and container modifications were also engineered by NextGen.

Sub-Sea Ocean Cabled Observatory

The cabled observatory was designed as an undersea laboratory for ocean researchers.  NextGen completed the structural analysis for the observatory frame and landing platform, as well as provided engineering assistance during the project.

Mobile Gas Distribution System

The gas distribution system was designed to provide an instant hydrogen or natural gas infrastructure and emergency supply during pipeline interruptions.  NextGen completed the engineering for the cylinder frame structure, along with the required structural analysis for obtaining regulatory approvals.

Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Research Laboratory

The research laboratory was specifically designed for graduate students and researchers completing PEM fuel-cell stack performance evaluations, as well as evaluating stack configurations and materials.

NextGen completed the engineering, installation and commissioning of the laboratory, consisting of multiple gas manifolds for hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other industrial gases, systems and equipment.

All aspects of the project, including project management, code compliance support, and regulatory approval coordination was handled by NextGen.

Hydrogen Ground Storage

The ground storage was designed to supply compressed hydrogen to a research laboratory.  As part of the project, NextGen provided the necessary engineering, integration, project management, code compliance support and regulatory approval coordination.

Vehicular Hydrogen Fuel System

The hydrogen fuel storage and delivery system was specifically designed for a single-seat competition vehicle that will be used to showcase fuel-cell technology across Australia.

The fuel system consists of high-pressure hydrogen storage, PEM fuel-cell stack and NextGen's Hydrogen Control Module that interconnects system components.  As part of the project, NextGen completed the system engineering, analysis and integration.
