CPT+NMR instrumentation and tooling for offshore wind geotechnical investigations

This Project Grant award from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) provides $200,000 in funding to Vista Clara Inc., a veteran-owned small business, to develop CPT+NMR instrumentation and tooling for offshore wind geotechnical investigations. Vista Clara specializes in advanced magnetic resonance technologies for groundwater characterization and has delivered a range of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging systems, instruments, and services to federal agencies through previous contracts and grant awards. This grant funding will enable Vista Clara to advance its core magnetic resonance expertise and deliver new integrated cone penetration testing and NMR technologies aligned with DOE research objectives around renewable energy infrastructure. The project has a period of performance from July 10, 2023 to April 9, 2024.
