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.

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.

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.

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.
