Identifying Heat, Creating Impact

Identifying Heat, Creating Impact

The current heatwave makes one thing clear: heat is not an abstract issue for the future, but already a tangible challenge for municipalities, cities and schools. Sealed surfaces in particular become heat hotspots. G+P makes this exposure visible and supports impact oriented climate adaptation measures.

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

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.

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

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.

«G+P was and is my first permanent position after graduation. Mutual trust, the opportunity to reconcile family and career, constant new challenges and a team to steal horses will not change this anytime soon.»

«On the pulse of time in times of climate change – this makes the work at G+P both interesting and diverse. In addition, a very motivated team of well-trained specialists who complement each other very well and who bring the current state of knowledge of building physics into practice. The whole thing is rounded off by a really good team spirit and progressive boundary conditions, which is why I feel very comfortable here.»

«G+P allows me to work in an area where I can influence the achievement of kilma targets on a small scale. By planning energy-optimized buildings, we can actively influence the CO2 footprint. The daily work with the great team of G+P is a pleasure. In addition, I was able to meet my wonderful wife at G+P.»

«With the CPX measurement system, we are on the road all over Switzerland measuring the acoustic effect of road surfaces. During these measurements, I discovered many beautiful places throughout Switzerland and was inspired by the different landscapes: sunsets in the canton of Fribourg, summer days on Lake Maggiore or winding drives up unknown mountain passes. The perfect balance to the daily office routine.»

«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.»

«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.»

«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.»
