The new hospital in Stavanger is one of Norway's most comprehensive healthcare buildings, and the roof solution is a key part of the building's functionality and operational reliability. The project covers a total of 24,000 square metres of roof surface, where Protan SE 1.6 has been used in a vacuum roof design to meet strict requirements for quality, robustness and long service life.
The vacuum roof based on Protan SE 1.6 was chosen for its proven properties in large and technically demanding buildings, where safety and durability are crucial. The work was carried out in two stages to manage the complexity of the project, which included everything from terraces and garden areas to cold bridges and roof bridges.
The vacuum roof solution offers major advantages, including minimal or no mechanical fastening on large surfaces, low risk of air leaks and buoyancy, and an efficient and safe installation process. At the same time, the solution offers a long service life with reduced maintenance requirements.
The use of Protan SE 1.6 and associated systems demonstrates our expertise in delivering advanced and reliable roof solutions for complex healthcare buildings. This gives our customers the assurance that the roof meets both technical requirements and high expectations for quality.
The result is a roof that is not only watertight and functional, but also well suited for future operation and maintenance – and built to handle the demanding conditions required by a modern hospital.
