| Abstract: |
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was the main venue for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The vision for the site included its transformation into a legacy park with additional housing and other significant societal benefits. The engineers within the client, designer and contractor organisations have ensured that sustainability in all its different aspects have been seriously considered and positively addressed. This has led to a project which has received various awards for sustainability. |
