AMPO Group, international leader in stainless steel and high alloy castings, is expanding business with a new machining facility in Idiazabal. This innovative structure features a green roof with more than 6,000 m2 of Sempergreen Sedum-mix blankets. For this project, AMPO has applied for a LEED Gold certification.
Lightweight green roof system
The roof of the facility is equipped with an Urbanscape Green Roof System. This is an innovative and lightweight green roof system with a high water retention capacity. This green roof system only weighs 65 kg/m2 when fully saturated, and is therefore the ideal lightweight solution for every kind of roof.
Stormwater management
By means of this unique system, AMPO is able to lower stormwater pressure on the local sewage system by almost 60%, based on the annual rainfall.
