The London Olympics Athletes’ Village 2012 - WIDOPAN-FD POLYESTER WATERPROOFING

After the conclusion of the games, the Athletes’ Village was adapted to create a new residential quarter, East Village.

The adaptation and new construction created over 2,000 new dwellings, including 1300 affordable homes for sale and rent. Temporary partitions installed during the games were removed, making a range of one to five-bed homes, including apartments and townhouses.

Developers again selected WIDOPAN products to accomplish the various changes to the building. Various alterations to the original structure gave rise to a need for new waterproof seals on a number of the new apartment blocks.

The finished result using WIDOPAN-FD in grey gives a striking image, especially when viewed from above. The renovation work undertaken provides a secure and durable waterproof seal for buildings set to house thousands of new people.

In addition to the alteration of the buildings, the developers created new parklands and much-needed extra transport links.

A health centre for residents of East Village and the surrounding areas has also been provided. A very successful project that WIDOPAN was very proud to be a part of.
