Pico Envirotec Inc. is a leader in design and manufacturing of turnkey Geophysical & Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation for precise magnetic and radiation measurements in the air or on the ground. Most of the system are installed on moving platforms aircraft and ATVs. They are mostly used for mining and oil/gas exploration, environmental and radiation monitoring and for archaeological investigations.
All design, engineering and development is performed in-house by a team of experienced software and hardware engineers and geophysicists. Based in Toronto, Canada the company has installed systems for government and private sector clients. All design, development and installation is performed by our team of Geophysicists, Engineers and Technicians in-house and are part of the larger company structure that includes Sales, Marketing, Administration and Software design, supporting project installations globally.
Discover Pico’s commitment to research and development, fulfilling client objectives and providing excellence in service delivery. This focus is a reflection of the Pico commitment to customer satisfaction and service delivery; it is also due in part in becoming a subsidiary of Nuvia Group, part of Vinci France the world’s largest construction and related services company.
Vinci is a global corporation committed to building long-term value for customers, shareholders, employees and society with two lines of business, Concessions and Contracting. Vinci provides design, finance, build and operate model of infrastructures and facilities, with over 192,700 staff in 100 countries. The company focuses on concessions and contracting projects including AutoRoute’s, airports, road and rail infrastructure, car parks and stadiums. Contracting comprises of energy, transport and communication infrastructure, roads, rail and urban development and building, civil and hydraulic engineering and construction related specialties

Geophysical and Radiation Monitoring measurements (airborne, mobile and portable) are used in many industries through a variety of unique project applications. Some of them include:
Minerals Exploration – Magnetic measurements (Mag), Gamma Spectroscopy (Spec ) and Time Domain ElectroMagnetic (TDEM) systems are used in greenfields, brownfields, near-mine surveying and remote locations
Oil/Gas – Magnetic measurements and Gamma Spectroscopy systems are used for ground exploration
Environmental -1 –Gamma Spectroscopy systems are used in emergency and peace application to detect man made radiation pollution
Environmental-2 –Magnetic measurements, Gamma Spectroscopy and TDEM systems are used in applications such as pond leakage, hydro-geology
Engineering – Magnetic measurements and TDEM systems are used for projects like railway corridor construction, power line construction, buried pipeline detection, un-mapped (old) mine location etc.
Archaeology – Magnetic gradiometry systems are effective when used in combination with archaeological expertise to detect historical sites
Unexploded Ordnance – Mag systems with multiple sensors are used for detection of unexploded ordnance with a magnetic signature
