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 project
highlights include
the following;
Sub-Sea ROV Equipment Platform
The remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) equipment
system involved designing a tooling platform for proprietary
sub-sea operations to 12,000 ft. The design consisted of
mechanical, hydraulic and structural components.
NextGen completed the design of the mechanical structures and
interface systems, then completed a finite element (FE)
structural analysis.
Heavy-Duty NGV Bus Fuelling Station
The natural gas vehicle (NGV) fuelling station projected
involved upgrading a series of heavy-duty fuelling equipment -
from compressor packages to dispensing and control systems, to
interconnecting tubing and electrical safety devices.
NextGen completed the layout design of the various equipment
within each module, installed the equipment on-site, then
completed the necessary commissioning with the the client.
Other related project tasks were completed as part the upgrade
and existing equipment decommissioning.
Other aspects of the project, including internal project management,
code compliance support, and regulatory approval coordination
was handled by NextGen.
Pressure Regulating Module (PRM)
The pressure regulating module was designed for
depressurizing natural gas cylinders from high-pressure storage
to gas utility pressures. The PRM system is
self-sufficient and was intended for industrial applications.
The PRM system is one of NextGen products and was designed to
meet specific client requirements. NextGen can provide
complete systems and modify the existing design to meet other
application requirements, stationary or mobile.
Industrial Compressed Oxygen System (Avalanche
Control)
The industrial compressed oxygen system was developed as part
of an avalanche control equipment package. The system was
designed for on-highway transportation as well as final
helicopter transfer to remote avalanche blasting locations.
NextGen completed the design of the system frame structure,
as well as the structural finite element (FE) analysis required by
transportation regulations. NextGen shipped two complete
cylinder frame structures to the client.
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
finite element (FE) 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 offshore undersea laboratory
for university and ocean researchers. NextGen completed the structural
finite element (FE) 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 finite element (FE) analysis for obtaining regulatory approvals.
Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Research Laboratory
The research laboratory was specifically designed for
graduate students and researchers completing proton exchange
membrane (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.
