Hear from those who led the design and delivery of the Olympic Stadium. An innovative use of permanent and temporary forms was developed to meet the 80 000 games capacity and 25 000 legacy capacity, with the final structuring consisting of a permanent sunken concrete bowl and a removable upper seating tier. To save space and drive efficiencies, the majority of spectator facilities were moved outside the structure and the upper seating tier rakes outwards, resulting in the lightest stadium of its size in the world. The rapid delivery of the stadium in just 34 months was achieved through a strategy of prefabrication of concrete and steel elements and just-in-time delivery, supported by a strong collaborative team-working ethic.
About this lecture series
The ICE is supporting the Olympic Delivery Authority’s Learning Legacy by disseminating the lessons learned during the construction of the Games through a series of evening lectures. Topics to be covered include the masterplanning, contaminated land treatment, venues, bridges and structures, water use management and transport. The aim of the Learning Legacy is to share the knowledge and lessons learned from the London 2012 construction project to raise the bar within the construction sector and to act as a showcase for UK plc. The ODA has worked closely with contractors, industry partners, government bodies and academia to capture the lessons learned and document best practice examples and innovations for the benefit of future projects.
