ODA appoints Water Polo Arena contractors
Work on the 5,000-seat Water Polo Arena at London's Olympic Park has now started after the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) named the contractors for the scheme.
Silvertown-based ES Group will construct the main structure of the venue, while A&T/Barr and Wray of Glasgow will install the temporary swimming pools. Jackson Civil Engineering Group; Byrne Group; Alto Seating Systems; and Balfour Beatty Engineering Services are also working on the scheme.
A design team - headed by David Morley Architects and including Buro Happold and Max Fordham - has drawn up plans for the wedge-shaped arena. The venue will feature an inflatable roof and will include a 37m-long competition pool and a 33m-long warm-up pool.
