Road surface acoustics – we are the leader.
Determining the acoustic quality of road surfaces.
Our services include measurements to determine the acoustic quality of road surfaces, e.g. with the CPX trailer measurement method, as well as specific measurement procedures and analyses for the acoustic optimisation of road surfaces. Our customers benefit from comprehensive strategic and technical advice on the planning, installation and maintenance of quiet road surfaces.
Supposedly identical road surfaces can sometimes have very different noise effects, or the acoustic effect can change over time. With our pavement acoustic impact analyses, we get to the bottom of the causes. To maintain the long-term acoustic effect of the road surfaces, we develop solution proposals based on pollution degree and surface texture analyses.

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.

As the newly appointed CEO of Grolimund + Partner, I am delighted to share our and my plans and visions with you in my first blog post as CEO.
3D texture measurements - visual method for determining the surface properties of road pavements
Low-noise road pavements are used as effective noise abatement measures in Switzerland. To determine the actual effect of low-noise road surfaces, G+P uses numerous measurement methods. While the most common measurement methods record the properties of road pavements acoustically (e.g. with microphones), 3D texture measurements can be used to measure and assess the visual properties of road pavements that are relevant for noise generation. G+P has been carrying out such 3D texture measurements with its own photogrammetry scanner since 2022.
