Delivering London 2012: site-wide logistics Available to Purchase

The UK Olympic Delivery Authority began to define the methodology for an ambitious construction programme on the 2·7 km² Olympic Park site for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which came with significant constraints. The construction programme included 14 Games time venues and other buildings; the infrastructure and utilities sufficient to service a small town; 300 residential and commercial buildings to be demolished and 2·6 million m³ of soil to be remediated. This £6 billion construction programme was to be completed in 3·5 years. At its peak this resulted in 4500 vehicle movements each day, 81 tier 1 contractors, and 3000 tier 2 contractors together with their subcontractors and suppliers and up to 9000 people involved in construction.
