Contractors have been appointed to clean up the Olympic Park siteOver a million cubic metres of soil will be sorted and cleaned and many buildings demolished over the next few years, as the Olympic Park site in East London is prepared for the construction of Olympic venues.
The contract has been awarded to Edmund Nuttall Ltd and Galliford Try Plc. The contactors will be on site later this year.
"This is another key milestone coming days after the announcement of the site masterplan.
"We are committed to sustainability and minimizing the disruption to local communities wherever possible. Maximizing the amount of material being reused on site means fewer lorries on local roads and reduced use of landfill sites.
"We have been very impressed with the proposals from the chosen contractors to facilitate local employment and training and we will be working with them to develop this."
