Research & Development – we conduct solution-oriented research.

Innovative strength thanks to a large network.

We research and develop environmental topics, with the objective of constantly developing our expert knowledge and finding practical solutions. Thanks to highly qualified specialists from different disciplines, we can solve complex problems in an integrative way.

We are motivated to apply our versatile methodological knowledge of physics, measurement technology, statistics, big data, machine learning, etc. to a wide range of engineering issues. Thanks to a large network of national and international partners and universities with different focal points, we can draw on a wide range of resources.

We share our experience, our expert knowledge, and our references in the development of standards, guidelines and leaflets. We publish our results in research reports, scientific publications and conference papers and we thereby contribute to the state of the art.

Recycling low-noise SDA asphalt

Over the past years, several hundred kilometres of highly effective low-noise SDA 4 road surfaces have been constructed across Switzerland. Many of these sections are now approaching an age at which replacement will soon be required. One aspect has so far received little attention: these specialised surfaces cannot be recycled as easily as conventional road materials. This issue will become increasingly relevant in the coming years. By 2030, more than 200,000 tonnes of SDA material are expected to arise and will need to be reused in a technically sound manner.

Act Now – Instead of Overheating

This summer’s record heat once again makes it clear: cities and municipalities urgently need to make their infrastructure climate-resilient. Strategies and guidelines alone are not enough. Concrete action is needed – and it’s needed now. Grolimund + Partner supports cities and municipalities in a results-driven and interdisciplinary way in planning, implementation and impact monitoring.

More value from data: Data science in noise control and civil engineering

Our projects generate lots of data – but often, its full potential remains untapped. With data science, we can extract new insights from existing measurements, models, and observations, enabling evidence-based decisions. G+P applies data science where it truly adds value: in noise control, civil engineering – and wherever large datasets meet complex challenges.
