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.

Thank you Toni – 32 years at G+P

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.

«As part of G+P's external noise team, I particularly appreciate the professional exchange within the core team, as well as the constructive collaboration with other teams. Due to the diversity of projects, both in the public and private sector, new and exciting challenges always open up. Furthermore, it is nice to see that we are able to contribute to a "low-noise and quieter world" with our innovative solutions.»

«The highly specialized expertise within G+P enabled me to train in-house as an acoustician. Today, I am happy to pass on this knowledge to new employees. I experience a great openness and willingness to help each other within the team and between the specialist teams. In this way, everyone contributes to maintaining and further developing G+P's high level of professional competence.»

«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.»

«Working with and for different clients allows me to gain insight into a wide variety of fields of activity. At G+P itself, we work in interdisciplinary teams across the various specialist areas to find solutions. The focus is often on the goal of providing more peace and quiet for the population. I also really appreciate the fact that I can work in several branches and at home, and that the PC-heavy work is always broken up by measurement work outside with the CPX drivers, alone and with office colleagues.»

«Noisy industrial plants are often located on the roofs of high buildings. For measurement campaigns, I therefore regularly find myself at lofty heights and can enjoy the panorama from unique locations. The combination of field work (with foresight), the analytical and editorial work in the office and the variety of noise sources and projects make the work in the outdoor noise team at Grolimund+Partner very varied.»

«At G+P, I appreciate the good teamwork. What motivates me in working on the projects is that we contribute to a more comfortable use of the buildings. Comfort is related to global warming (summer heat insulation) and the ever-increasing density and its noise development in the building itself (sound insulation and room acoustics).»

«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.»
