The high reliability of the G+P CPX system has been proven again. In order to calibrate the CPX measuring systems, so-called Round Robin Tests are regularly carried out in the Netherlands with various CPX measuring systems. On invitation, G+P also went along in 2020. The results of our measuring system are excellent. Of the 8 different systems, the one from G+P is closest to the reference with excellent repeatability on porous as well as dense coatings.

CPX comparison measurements in the Netherlands

The tests were conducted in September 2020 in the province of Gelderland on two different pavements. The test sections consisted of 1020 meters of porous asphalt (DLPAC) and 2x600 meters of SMA-NL 11B pavements, which were measured at 24 °C. Each section was measured 6 times by each participant.

Overall, the G+P measurement system performed exceptionally well. The overall result across all measurements on both pavements shows that the G+P system performed best of all systems measured and was closest to the reference overall.

The results of these Round Robin measurements in the Netherlands prove the high quality of G+P's CPX measurements and their informative value and repeatability, which our customers have been enjoying for years.

All details about the measurements in Holland can be found in the linked report.

CPX Season 2024

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.

Digitalising Road Management: Glarus Leads the Way

Many municipalities lack reliable data on the condition of their road networks. The municipality of Glarus is changing that. Since March 2025, it has been using vialytics – a system that automatically assesses road conditions using a smartphone camera and artificial intelligence. As the exclusive Swiss partner of vialytics, Grolimund + Partner AG supported the municipality in implementing the technology and laid the foundation for modern, data-driven road management.

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.
