Noise often leads to conflicts. We advise you on noise issues, prepare customised expert reports and look for solutions to prevent noise emissions.

Environmental noise - we are the partner for quiet times.

Measure, calculate and reduce noise and vibrations.

Many people are exposed to noise and vibrations that are harmful to their health. These can lead to conflicts between those affected, the polluters and the authorities. It does not have to come to that.

Since the 1980s, we have gained a great deal of experience in assessing a wide variety of noise situations and offer solutions in the areas of road noise, railway noise, industrial and commercial noise, shooting noise and noise from construction sites. We specialise in the holistic assessment of the noise situation in polluted areas. Together with the public authorities and facility owners, we develop and plan individual measures such as noise barriers, noise-reducing road surfaces or soundproof windows.

In order to find the best solution for every noise and vibration problem, we have a wide range of options at our disposal. With our measuring instruments and our own noise calculation software, we are able to record every situation in the best possible way. We carry out noise and vibration monitoring, which prevents conflicts between plant operators and residents in a sustainable and proactive manner - for example at construction sites.

Acoustic assessment of PV systems on motorways

Acoustic assessment of PV systems on motorways

In the Energy Strategy 2050, solar energy plays a primary role in Switzerland's future energy supply. In addition to locations such as building facades and roofs, the potential of photovoltaic (PV) arrays along transport infrastructure (retaining walls, noise barriers, etc.) has also come into focus. The installation of solar panels there can influence sound propagation and can either reduce noise (as an obstacle) or increase it (as a reflective surface). As part of a pilot project on behalf of the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), G+P accompanied the acoustic assessment of a planned PV system along a section of motorway, focusing in particular on reflections, which can lead to undesirable increases in noise for local residents.

Vibration - beware of exceedances

"Ouch - I'm in charge of building a new railway line and I see that it runs very close to a house. Do I need to worry about vibrations? It's a legitimate question. But don't panic, vibration analyses can be carried out beforehand to ensure that the standards are indeed respected.
