Working closely with design consultants, Zaha Hadid and the project engineers, Arup, the Aquatics Centre benefited significantly from a combination of the Wi Column and Wi Beam System to achieve the required lateral wall stability.
The Wi System eliminated 1,100 windposts and 372 lintels whilst also benefiting acoustic and fire protection performance, stabilising part-height walls, maximising flexibility for service penetrations and providing a single substrate for the extensive tiled areas.
