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

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.

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.

«At G+P, I can apply my expertise to a huge variety of projects, from architectural competitions to interior design - whether it's an assessment of the volumetrics or the proportion of glass in a giant superstructure or choosing the right curtain fabric for the acoustics in a living room. I find the exchange with customers and other construction experts enriching and instructive. I particularly appreciate the friendly atmosphere at G+P, the uncomplicated exchange and flexible organization.»

«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.»
