London 2012 blog

On the day that McAlpine and Nuttalls were meeting for the handover of the Stadium site it was good to get out and take a look at the progress as we enter the Easter Break.

Sam Stevens of CLM and Graham Hughes, an old colleague from my Laing days, took me on a tour of the demolition activity of the StageCoach bus station site, then on to the site of the materials entry plaza to see the drainage works and site preparation.

From there we went down to the Nuttalls offices to meet various teams, including Halcrow and Atkins and then over to the Stadium site which is looking fantastic. Such a transformation in a few months.

Finally we visited the Aquatics site; saw the river wall works and met more of the site team. By now the weather had changed which provided a good reminder of what it’s like on site when the wind and rain are combined.

Overall it was great to see the progress we have made and the transformation of the last nine months. Thanks to everyone, today was a great example of what can be achieve by cross company team work.
