London Stadium

OVERVIEW

Formally known as the Olympic stadium, this structure was constructed in the Stratford district of London for the London 2012 Olympics.


After the Olympics, redevelopment of the stadium began, including installation of the new floodlights in March 2015. The 60,000 capacity stadium is now home of West Ham United.


The project involved working with 2 different clients on the same project – Populous (Global stadium developers) and Buro Happold (consulting engineers) for 14 no lighting puddles for the London stadium.


The driver for the use of composites was seeking a way to reduce the weight at the end of what was then the largest cantilever roof section – so weight at the end was more critical than normal.


We also supplied 2000m² of steel gratings to the same project – demonstrating how we can identify the most suitable material for each application.


The material used was Flowdeck solid top 41mm deep in RAL 7043. Flowdeck is resin moulded with a 3mm thick applied plate on top of a 38mm thick standard panel.


It was fabricated at our facility in Middlesbrough with each one delivered on a phase-by-phase basis to a tight programme.
