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.

«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.»

«What I appreciate most about G+P is the wide range of building physics topics that we are able to deal with on a daily basis as part of an outstanding team. It is a personal concern of mine to support and accompany our customers every day on their way to greater energy efficiency and sustainability. In this way, I can make a personal contribution to a ‘greener’ world of tomorrow, both for the general public and for my two small children, for whom I have plenty of time thanks to my ‘daddy day’ and 80% workload.»
