Background
In 2011, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) delivered their ambitious ‘big build’ project – the construction of the main venues and infrastructure for London 2012 – on time and within budget.
To capture the lessons learned from the success of the London 2012 construction project, the ODA has worked closely with contractors, industry partners, government bodies and academia to document these lessons and best-practice. With the support of ICE, the ODA is now launching a programme to share the knowledge from the London 2012 construction project and raise the bar within the sector.
ICE's Learning Legacy programme
ICE is delivering a rich portfolio of resources to support the ODA’s Learning Legacy:
■ Free CPD lectures: developed with the ODA, a UK-wide ICE lecture programme will cover topics such as master planning, land treatment, venues, bridges, structures, water use management and transport. See the ‘upcoming events’ section to book your place. An online film archive of ICE London’s Learning Legacy events is now available:
■ Journals: Two free London 2012 special issues of ICE's Proceedings Journal, Civil Engineering, featuring insider knowledge on geotechnics, energy provision, structural engineering, master planning, and transport
■ Online map: Ordnance Survey map of the Olympic Park, plotting the main venues, utilities, road and rail links, explaining how engineers overcame the challenges of managing waste, transport, energy and water resources on the site
■ Micro-documentary film: communicating and celebrating the engineering of the Olympic Park, with interviews from ODA directors including chairman John Armitt.
