Vista Clara, Inc news
The National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training in Adelaide, Australia has joined with Vista Clara Inc. to deliver a three-day, hands-on workshop focused on the application of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technologies for groundwater investigations. The course will be led by Dr David Walsh, President of Vista Clara Inc. and a leading developer of NMR geophysical instrumentation.
This course is designed for professionals in hydrogeology,
Vista Clara Inc., a global leader in geophysical nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, is pleased to announce the launch of Vista Clara Geotech Ltd., a new Canadian company based in Surrey, British Columbia. Vista Clara Geotech Ltd. will manufacture magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments for geoscience applications and provide instrument sales, rentals, and customer services across Canada and internationally.
“In establishing Vista Clara Geotech Ltd., we are taking an impor
In recent years, Orsted and the Technical University (DTU) have performed laboratory research to use in-situ magnetic resonance measurements to further improve investigation of the key parameters that are known to drive seabed foundation engineering, including measuring soil strength, stiffness, density, and stratigraphy. In May 2025, Vista Clara president Dave Walsh introduced the new Harpoon® combined CPT and NMR tool to the SUT OSIG Technical Working Group in Perth Australia.
Vista Clara, the leader in Magnetic Resonance (MR) technology for subsurface characterization, brings to the market? Harpoon®, the world’s first integration of magnetic resonance measurements into a cone penetrometer (CPT) test tool.
Harpoon® can be operated both offshore and on land to deliver real-time, continuous, high-resolution, in-situ data on both geotechnical and hydrogeological properties of the subsurface with minimal disturbance to the native formation.
Vista Clara Inc., a global leader in geophysical NMR technology, is pleased to announce the formation of a new Canadian subsidiary, Vista Clara Geotech ULC, headquartered in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The new entity will strengthen Vista Clara’s presence in the Canadian market and lead international sales initiatives beyond the United States.
Vista Clara is pleased to introduce a new addition to our family of high-resolution Dart™ NMR logging tools: Helios Trek™. Helios Trek is a portable NMR soil core analyzer that can be used in both the laboratory and the field. This rugged and portable system is operated by the Dart™ NMR Control Unit and enables NMR measurement from freshly extracted soil samples with a spatial resolution as small as 1.5 inches (4cm).
Vista Clara is pleased to introduce a new family of high-resolution NMR logging tools in the Javelin® Slim and Dart™ lines of NMR probes.
High-resolution NMR technology enables to collect NMR data with vertical resolution as small as 1.5 inches (4 cm), providing extremely detailed characterization of the most critical hydrogeological properties: total and mobile porosity, classification of sediment types, and estimates of hydraulic conductivity.

Vista Clara’s Darya Morozov provides an overview of the Dart product line, including descriptions of the basic components of a Dart system, the four different Dart probes that are currently available, and how Dart measurements can be performed in open or PVC-cased boreholes and with direct push and/or CPT deployment.
Watch the video below:
Vista Clara’s Dave Walsh demonstrates how you can make a simple self-auguring PVC access tube from inexpensive materials. The video also demonstrates how to use this simple tool with a Dart NMR logging system to conduct quick, precise and high-resolution in-situ NMR measurements of water content in the shallow subsurface.

The use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology is invaluable for geotechnical engineers involved in building projects. NMR provides crucial insights to inform the planning, design, and execution of foundations, tunnels, and dams.
