The last tile was laid at the new Olympic Aquatic centre earlier this month, marking 500 days to the opening of the Paralympic games.

The 50m competition pool and training pools used over 180,000 tiles and hundreds of glass panels, installed with a little help from GGR Group.

Building on our ongoing success with other Olympic Park projects, GGR Group provided a Unic 506 mini crane and Hydraulica 1000 vacuum lifter to lift and install 4.5 meter panels on the inside of the pool.

The Glass panels are located directly underneath the starting blocks, so you will be able to see our handy work at the beginning of each race!
