Description of Works

Our client was contracted to construct the internal blockwork walls on this iconic venue for the London Olympics. Our client was able to offer a composite package of blocklaying, scaffold access and management which produced a highly commended blockwork solution.

Our client developed the wall design by utilising the WI Beam and WI Column systems, designed by our sister company Wembley Innovation, to achieve the required loadings with minimal disruption to the aesthetics of the internal finishes. We were able to omit the requirement for the use of Windposts and concrete lintels on the entire scheme. This was a major benefit bearing in mind the effect too many movement joints would have on tiling and connections. In addition, it allowed the M&E design optimum flexibility in the positioning of services.
During the period on site, Our client was also awarded the insulation package which involved supplying and installing Foamglas structural insulation.

Description of Works

Logic She Solutions Ltd has provided health and safety advice and support services to several trade Contractors operating on the Olympic Park.

At the Olympic Village we provided Health and Safety Inspection services on a regular basis to ensure our Client was able to maintain a safe working environment for his employees and contractors and where necessary were able to liaise with the Principal Contractor to ensure our client’s objectives were not compromised.

The Athletes Village will provide accommodation for 17,000 athletes, officials and those associated with the Games. In September 2012, the area will be transformed into a community of over 2,800 homes, providing a legacy for East London.

We worked on the site for 3 years, on Block N26, itself containing 10 individual residential buildings, an external architectural Lignacite block (coloured and clear glass) was used as a facade. The design required each block to be a specific size, which were all hand cut on site by Pyramid Builders Ltd’s tradesmen.

Our clients were able to recruit operatives from within the surrounding area of Stratford to ensure the local workforce were engaged and felt part of this high-profile project, the largest in the country at the time.
