Project overview

Dubbed the construction project of the century, building the Olympic Park, created not only a world class venue for the Games, but in the legacy phase a whole new London district.

The ODA’s Procurement Policy demanded that sustainability credentials, as well as good value and quality, were paramount for any company wishing to become a supplier to the Games. As well as guaranteeing high quality solutions, suppliers were required to deliver large quantities of materials within tight time periods, meeting complex security requirements.

Solution

As well as supplying surface water slot drainage products, we delivered a full design services, carbon footprint information and full sustainability qualification documentation.

In addition, we provided a dedicated on-site support team for the construction period and logistical support complying with the site Delivery Management System (DMS) booking in and security system.

The Olympic Park Roads and Bridge contract covered the road infrastructure project for the main Olympic Park.

To gain specification for the surface water drainage systems and kerb units, we worked closely with the designers from a very early stage.

Beany Block was chosen for the Olympic Park Roads and Bridges contact and our Birco range was installed for the North and South Security Plazas and the high-profile Aquatics Centre designed by architect Zaha Hadid.

The renamed Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is now a world-leading destination for sport, entertainment, culture, education and relaxation and a global centre for enterprise.
