The services provided include demolition of the existing zinc and lead roofing, inspection of the old wood siding, replacement of rotted parts, and treatment against woodworm and other harmful elements.
Zinc and lead were the main materials used for the new roofing. A total of 23,500 m² of zinc was installed, including 165 tons of zinc plus, 15 tons of natural zinc and 3 km of gutters.
In addition, two domes and other parts of the roof were covered with lead, for a total of approximately 1400m² of lead roofing, equivalent to 45 tons. Also, 10,000 m² of glass skylights and 240 m² of natural slates were restored to their original condition. All roofs were also fitted with the necessary insulation, amounting to 21 trailers of PIR insulation.
The 6000m² of glass facades of the Jubilee Park were also renovated using traditional techniques. In addition, the terraces of the central arcades were restored in lead and made accessible to the public.
The restoration of Jubilee Park was a complex process carried out over five years. With a total roof area of 31,000m² and a budget of 21 million euros, a significant amount of knowledge and expertise was required to successfully complete this project. During the construction period from 2018 to 2023, more than 50 roofers were involved, working on the project for 250 working days.
The restoration of Jubilee Park required the use of various traditional roofing materials, particularly zinc and lead. The proper installation of these materials, combined with skylights and domes, required specialized knowledge and experience. Partly due to the size of the project. By completing the project successfully and within the predetermined timeframe, Tectum Group has demonstrated the necessary know-how and skills to carry it out successfully.
The Jubilee Park is undoubtedly one of the most famous and prominent historical sites in our capital. Home to the Royal Museum of Art and History, Autoworld and the War Heritage Institute, it is an important historical and cultural monument that needed to be restored to its original state. It is with great pride that we have worked hard over the past 5 years to restore the roofs and glass facades.
The size of the site was a major challenge. For this reason, this large project was carried out in 4 phases. The complexity of some of the elements to be restored also required the full attention of the experienced restoration team of Six by Tectum. A high level of expertise was required to restore the roofs and facades using traditional methods.

Clear communication and efficient collaboration with all parties involved was another major challenge during the restoration. Due to the large size of the construction site and the need to keep the museums in the Jubilee Park open, it was essential to communicate clearly with the client (Regie Der Gebouwen), the tenants (museums), our suppliers and subcontractors. Tectum Group made a point of consulting regularly with the various stakeholders and keeping them informed of the progress of the project. Thanks to this transparent communication, the museums stayed open during the entire renovation period.
An amazing aspect of this project is the progress made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the difficulties and limitations caused by the pandemic, Tectum Group took the necessary measures to ensure the safety and health of its employees and all parties involved. This also meant ordering extra materials and assigning additional staff in a timely manner to ensure that work could proceed as scheduled. This shows their commitment and flexibility to deliver high quality results even under challenging circumstances.
The French name 'Parc du Cinquantenaire' refers to the fiftieth anniversary of Belgium as an independent nation. The park was originally created to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Belgian independence in 1880. It symbolizes national pride and commemorates the important historical event that laid the foundation for Belgium's development and progress as a nation.
In 2030, Belgium will celebrate the 200th anniversary of its independence and the Jubilee Park will play a central role in commemorating two centuries of independence. The recent restoration work on the roofs and glass facades contributes to the preservation of this monumental heritage and prepares the park to play a prominent role in the celebrations and commemorations of this milestone in Belgian history in the years to come.
Tectum Group is proud to have successfully completed this project. We have demonstrated our expertise in the installation of traditional roofing materials and our ability to carry out large and complex restoration projects with craftsmanship and dedication. The restoration of the Jubilee Park is a valuable reference that confirms Tectum Group's excellent reputation as a reliable partner for high quality roof and facade restorations.
