We currently have an isolated platform measuring 180x180 cm where the hose from the drilled (55m) hole emerges and holds a 600L tank and a pump. The tank has a hatch on the top side. We have a tarpaulin over this. We now want to build insulated walls and a roof to make everything winter-proof. The reason I'm writing here is that I don't know how to construct the roof, as it needs to be openable to access the hatch in the tank and to lift out the pump when it needs to be replaced, which is positioned at the bottom of the hole on a rigid hose. To top it all, the tank opening is on one side, and the drilled hole on the other side. How can this be best resolved? Does anyone have examples of similar setups and construction drawings?
You can build a low-sloping flat roof with asphalt, and hinges on one side.
Everything should be built in a block shape so that the insulation can be effective.
For example, you can build a frame that is stable in itself, with a roof and one side that can be unscrewed.
The advantage of the large tank is that it is an excellent heat brake at night, allowing for a smaller and more even heat supply to be used.

Like pieces that fit into each other.
Like Lego bricks, sort of.

How often do you need to lift the roof?
You might be able to build an insulated box about 200 x 200 cm with a downward edge of about 180 cm on two sides to fit over the walls of the pump house. You can place this on two wall-mounted beams of the same length. Secure the roof to the house with 4 trailer locks. Then one person can detach the entire roof and slide it aside without major issues. Two people can lift it off.
If you build the roof with 20 cm beams, 20 cm foam, hardboard sheets, and metal, it shouldn't be too heavy.
