Halfway Point For Aquatics Centre Roof
Construction of the wave-shaped roof of the London 2012 Aquatics Centre has reached its halfway point. The erection of the 160m-long, 2,800-tonne roof started just three months ago and is considered one of the most complex engineering and construction challenges of the Olympic Park 'big build'. The roof frame consists of steel sections made by a company in Newport, Wales. They are then brought on site and positioned on just three concrete supports. The roof is due to be completed this summer. ODA Chief Executive David Higgins said: "Work on the Aquatics Centre is on track and the sweeping roof that will form the “Gateway to the Games” is taking shape on the skyline alongside the Olympic Stadium." After the Games the venue will provide two 50m swimming pools, a diving pool and dry diving area - facilities London does not have at present.
