Tracking road traffic noise

Tracking road traffic noise

Two low noise pavement mixtures on the same road, but which one performs better in the long term? In the Canton of Solothurn, G+P’s Pavement Acoustics team is supporting a test section with a comprehensive analysis programme. Initial findings show that anyone aiming to make the right decisions must look far beyond standard measurements.
Cool Pavements, Local Stone

Cool Pavements, Local Stone

Switzerland is getting hotter, especially in urban areas. We are currently completing a research project that shows: cool asphalt surfaces can be achieved using locally available Swiss aggregates while still meeting requirements for safety, durability, noise and cost effectiveness.
Homogeneous data for reliable noise protection

Homogeneous data for reliable noise protection

Monitoring road traffic noise is a complex task that requires detailed and reliable data. Whether for legal compliance, long-term strategies or the targeted planning of mitigation measures, the quality of decision-making depends directly on the quality of the data and the underlying models. In practice, this is often where the greatest challenges arise. Incomplete datasets, varying data quality and the large volume of available geodata complicate many projects. How can these challenges be addressed through the right combination of automation and professional expertise? The key lies in targeted data homogenisation and the semi-automated creation of comprehensive noise models, supported by the specialist expertise of engineers.

Grolimund + Partner creates added value in all areas of its offering.

We are leaders in our specialist areas of outdoor noise, road surface acoustics, building physics, software and research & development. We provide high-quality services and develop solutions that benefit people and the environment.

Thank you Toni – 32 years at G+P

Thank you Toni – 32 years at G+P

At this year’s summer event in Thun, Toni celebrated his last official working day at Grolimund + Partner – in glorious weather, together with the team, on and around Lake Thun. A fitting setting for a special moment: the conclusion of 32 years filled with heart, wisdom and commitment
One year of communicating values

One year of communicating values

In January 2024, as "The New Boss", I explained in a video statement what is important to us and to me at G+P. After almost a year as the new CEO, it's time for a little look back. Our values take centre stage. Values are a key success factor, especially for SMEs like us.

«Working with and for different clients allows me to gain insight into a wide variety of fields of activity. At G+P itself, we work in interdisciplinary teams across the various specialist areas to find solutions. The focus is often on the goal of providing more peace and quiet for the population. I also really appreciate the fact that I can work in several branches and at home, and that the PC-heavy work is always broken up by measurement work outside with the CPX drivers, alone and with office colleagues.»

«Even after 17 years at G+P, I deal with new issues and challenges almost every day. The solutions are often developed in interdisciplinary and cross-branch teams. This confrontation with exciting technical issues and the exchange with a highly qualified team motivate me again and again.»

«What I appreciate most about G+P is the wide range of building physics topics that we are able to deal with on a daily basis as part of an outstanding team. It is a personal concern of mine to support and accompany our customers every day on their way to greater energy efficiency and sustainability. In this way, I can make a personal contribution to a ‘greener’ world of tomorrow, both for the general public and for my two small children, for whom I have plenty of time thanks to my ‘daddy day’ and 80% workload.»

«I have been working for G+P on a part-time basis for more than 20 years, and thanks to G+P's great flexibility I have been able to combine family and career wonderfully. I experience G+P as a dynamic team and a generous employer in all respects, from the coffee and croissants on offer, the great employee events, to the generous BVG insurance benefits. I am proud to work for G+P.»

«What I appreciate about G+P is the extremely broad field of activity, which ranges from normal project work to conference participation and international research collaboration. Likewise, I think it's great that the coffee break can be actively used to compare current conditions in the mountains, which creates a welcome balance between work and free time.»

«I have been with G+P AG for over 20 years. I appreciate the good cooperation and the lively exchange of information in the team. I can contribute my extensive practical construction knowledge and experience to the team, on the construction sites, when problems arise or in the event of construction damage. The knowledge gained from construction damage is passed on as an ongoing learning process within the team. As of October 2022, I will be partially retired and will continue to work at G+P AG with a workload of 40%. I spend a lot of time in the mountains (climbing, ski touring) as compensation.»

«Working as a noise protection engineer has opened my eyes to the various impacts of noise on people's health. At G+P, I have the opportunity to work in a young and dynamic company, and I can take part in the fight against noise pollution, actively contributing to the well-being of the Swiss population through the realisation of varied and exciting projects.»

«There are good reasons why I have been working at G+P since 1996: I have always been able to familiarize myself with new areas, receive further training and help build innovative solutions. During this time, my children were born and grew up – the flexibility of G+P in terms of workload and working hours was and is invaluable. I love the working atmosphere, where you can bring in and implement your own ideas, even for new work processes.»
