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.

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.
