Tectum Group the mechanically fastened roof on the new distribution center. For this large-scale industrial building, a roof structure with a strong circular approach was deliberately chosen. The roof membrane was mechanically fastened, without the use of adhesives, so that the entire roof structure remains removable and reusable. This approach is perfectly in line with Atlas Copco's sustainability ambitions , with a clear focus on circularity and future-proof construction.
The completed roof consists of a mechanically fastened EPDM roof membrane. Mechanically fastened systems are characterized by their flexibility in different weather conditions and an installation that does not depend on adhesives or ballast, resulting in more efficient implementation and easier maintenance.
This mechanical anchoring allows all components, including the roof membrane, to be dismantled and reused at a later date. This is a clear added value compared to traditional fully bonded systems, which are often more difficult to reuse.
For the ambitious expansion of Atlas Copco 's distribution center in Hoeselt (Project Orion), Tectum Group realized Tectum Group sustainable and innovative roof solution. The Swedish industrial company, known for its focus on sustainable productivity and employee well-being, expanded its warehouse capacity with over 10,000 m² of additional storage space and 4,000 m² of office space in a compact and energy-neutral building design. A circular and future-oriented building envelope was central to this, including a high-quality roof that combines sustainability and functionality.

When installing the mechanically fastened roof, the emphasis was not only on durability and performance, but also on efficient and safe execution on site. In the video accompanying this project, Patrick Vanderstichelen, Technical Training Manager at Tectum Group, explains why mechanical fastening offers clear added value for roofers.
After unrolling the roof membrane, it can be secured immediately, without being overly dependent on weather conditions such as wind or rain. This makes mechanical fastening a particularly efficient method for large industrial roofs. In addition, this technique offers significant ergonomic advantages: thanks to the use of screw and bit extensions, roofers can work in an upright position, which significantly reduces physical strain.
Mechanical fastening also scores highly in terms of safety. Because no open flames or gas are required during installation, the risk of fire on the roof is avoided. This roof structure combines high installation speed with ergonomic comfort and a safe working environment for roofers.
The result is a robust, durable, and mechanically fastened roof that not only protects Atlas Copco's logistics activities but also contributes to their long-term sustainability ambitions. The project demonstrates how innovative roofing solutions and circular thinking go hand in hand, with Tectum Group a reliable partner for the realization of high-quality building envelopes.
