Abstract/Summary

The 500-acre Olympic Park sits in the Lower Lea Valley in London's East End. Construction work has had to overcome problems like high groundwater levels, compressible soils – which threaten foundations and underground constructions – and contamination from pollutants like oil, petrol, tar, arsenic and lead, which pose serious risks to water supplies and ultimately human health if left untreated.
