Balfour Beatty has won a contract to carry out the roof reconfiguration works on the London 2012 Olympic Stadium. Work is due to start in the autumn, with completion set for spring 2015. Balfour Beatty will dismantle and remove the existing roof and floodlight towers in the first part of the works, while a cable net system will support the new roof, with 600 tonne cranes operating within the stadium to then tandem lift the supporting roof steelwork into place. When completed, the roof will be twice its original size.
