Online TEAMS-Webinar - Turning onto more sustainable roads of the future on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.

What environmental impact does the road system have? How can material cycles be closed and the ambitious sustainability targets achieved? This and more was highlighted and discussed by various experts in our webinar.

On Wednesday, March 6, G+P successfully held another webinar and welcomed over 90 participants.

The webinar highlighted the environmental impact of the road system, from material extraction to use and disposal, and was critically discussed by experts in a panel discussion. Central aspects of the webinar also included synergies with noise protection, the problem of raw material scarcity and the associated challenges and opportunities. The experts' opinions on the highly topical subject of "green asphalt" were also very interesting.

We at Grolimund + Partner will continue to campaign for sustainable roads.

A big thank you to the five experts Sandra Dünner, Gregor Schguanin, Samuel Probst, Fabian Traber and Arthur Braunschweig for their participation and commitment. Many thanks also to the numerous participants.

Webinar on sonROAD18 in Practice - Opportunities & Challenges in Noise Modeling.

On November 3, 2021, G+P successfully held an online event for the second time. This time it was about the new road noise model sonRoad18 with its opportunities but also challenges.

Acoustic maintenance and sustainability of low-noise road surfaces: Findings from INTER.NOISE 2024

We presented two key papers at INTER.NOISE 2024 in Nantes. The first, in collaboration with G+P and Weibel AG, showed how grinding extends the service life of low-noise road surfaces. The second, together with G+P, HKP and E2, presented the ecological advantages of low-noise pavements compared to conventional pavements.

CPX Season 2024

The G+P pavement acoustics team has been carrying out close-proximity measurements (CPX) throughout Switzerland since 2008. The eventful 2024 CPX measurement season came to an end with the first snowfall at the end of November. While initial preparations for next year are already being planned and organised, we would like to summarise the 2024 CPX measurement season at the end of the year.

We look forward to seeing you! 😃
