The roof structure consists of a bituminous vapor barrier, PIR insulation and a BossCover EPDM seal. A 5 mm bituminous roofing was applied in the technical areas, combined with EPDM finishing on specific details.
The main roof sections include:
A striking part of the project is the main roof that acts as a retention roof, designed to temporarily store and delay rainwater. A sustainable solution in the urban environment of Brussels.
OXY, the former Anspach building and former headquarters of bpost, is currently being completely redeveloped into a multifunctional urban project with offices, stores and a hotel. Tectum Group is responsible for the renovation and waterproofing of all roofs and terraces, representing a total area of more than 24,000 m². The works are in progress and are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

The implementation on Oxy presented some specific challenges. The parabolic façade and mirror glass create exceptionally high temperatures on the roof surface of the large terraces. This required extra attention during the work. In addition, the building is particularly detailed: with 195 interior terraces, numerous balustrade bases and roof lift foundations, the project required a meticulous approach and continuous coordination with the other parties involved.
