At Games-time, I personally hope it will be the scene of further success for Team GB, but just as importantly I look forward to London at last having a state of the art aquatics facility for elite and community use for decades to come. London 2012 Organising Chairman Sebastian Coe said: “The Aquatics Centre is going to be a spectacular venue for the Games in 2012 and its iconic roof will be a fantastic addition to the east London skyline. It is showcasing the world class expertise delivering the venues and infrastructure for London 2012 and regenerating east London for future generations.” “The big lift one of the toughest construction and engineering challenges on the Olympic Park. 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 in the skyline alongside the Olympic Stadium. The Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre will be the gateway to the Olympic Park and in legacy will provide two 50m swimming pools, a diving pool and dry diving area – facilities London does not have at present. The roof frame, built with steel fabricated in Newport and assembled on site on just three concrete supports, is on track to be completed this summer. The lift of the 160m long 2800 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’. New images released by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) show that the wave-shaped roof of the London 2012 Aquatics Centre has reached its half way point.
