Revitalized Lommel Water Tower
A pillared oasis for safe drinking water
The water tower in Lommel built in 1955 and owned by De Watergroep, has recently been renovated respecting the original pillar design of the building. With an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, the tower has been completely renovated to provide a reliable source of drinking water to Lommel and its surrounding areas.
Standing tall and proud, the water tower has undergone an impressive renovation, both in- and outside. The interior has been revitalized with the installation of a new water tub, while the interior insulation has been reinforced with 160 m² of FOAMGLAS interior insulation T3+ with a tiled finishing. The choice of insulation material with exceptional water and vapor resistance is of utmost importance to preserve the integrity and safety of the drinking water.
To enhance its longevity and weather resistance, the roof has been adorned with a protective layer of 450 m² FOAMGLAS® Ready Block, securely attached using FOAMGLAS® PC® 800 adhesive, and finished with a sleek metal standing. This roofing solution ensures optimum protection against the elements, safeguarding the tower and its vital water supply for many years to come.
Additionally, the tower's exterior has undergone a well-deserved makeover, including the refurbishment of paths and the enhancement of surrounding greenery.
This successful renovation sets a precedent for future projects, as numerous towers owned by De Watergroep are scheduled for similar transformations in the coming years.
