Grounds for success

Royse, Kate; Banks, Vanessa; Bricker, Stephanie; Marchant, Andy. 2012 Grounds for success. Planet Earth, Summer. 12-13.

Abstract

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.
