The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) today published new images showing work is underway on the foundations of the Aquatics Centre for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Work is in progress creating the foundations for the platforms that will support the wave-like roof of the Aquatics Centre. Over 100 concrete piles have already been drilled up to 25 metres into the ground.
ODA chief executive David Higgins said: "We are on track to deliver an Aquatics Centre that forms a fantastic ‘gateway to the Games'. This site has been one of the most challenging areas of the Olympic Park to prepare for construction. It was ready early and the Aquatics Centre build started two months ahead of schedule."
