Naylor and the Olympic Legacy 2

The Olympic Stadium The stadium had a capacity of 80,000 during the Olympics and Paralympics, making it the third largest stadium in England behind Wembley and Twickenham and at a cost of £537 million to build, it cost a little more than its predecessor. (The Olympic Venue when it was last held in London cost £60,000 to build!!) It will be reduced in capacity to 25,000 for the future and will be holding pool matches for the 2015 Rugby World Cup as well as becoming West Ham United F.C's new permanent home. Designed by Populous Architects, who are experts in designing Sports Stadia, and contracted to McAlpine, it took over three years to build. Along with 10,700 tonnes of steel and thousands of cubic metres of low-carbondioxide concrete, (this contains 40 percent less embodied carbon than conventional concrete) there are many Naylor Concrete Hi-Spec, Fair Faced and Fire Resistant Lintels in the building, supplied through Civils and Lintels to Essex based Brickwork Contractor, Galostar.
