The £2bn Olympic Athletes’ Village development was built to accommodate athletes and officials during the 2012 Olympic Games.
This prestigious development included 11 residential blocks, each comprising between five and seven buildings. In addition to this accommodation, the site included retail outlets, restaurants, medical centres and leisure facilities.
Following the Games, the Athletes’ Village formed part of the Stratford City regeneration scheme, enabling local people to benefit from the development of 3,000 new homes for sale and rent.
Bovis Lendlease commissioned P.J. Carey to construct the concrete frames for Plots N03 and N04. P J Carey awarded the post-tensioning packages for both plots to CCL; this was based on a number of factors including CCL’s operational experience, technical knowledge, pragmatic approach and its CARES status, along with a competitive price.
The objective was to achieve a flat soffit within the tight floor-to-floor heights whilst at the same time maintaining a minimal floor thickness. This was successfully accomplished by proposing the use of post-tensioned slabs. CCL installed and supplied the CCL XF flat-slab bonded system for both plots N03 and N04.
