Велодром - BREEAM Outstanding

Цель проекта - достигнуть BREEAM Превосходно

• 6,000 постоянный сидений велодрома, 6000 временных мест на площадке для мотокросса 
• крыша Велодрома выполнены сетью кабелей, что позволяет сократить потребление стали и создать крышу, обладающую в два раза меньшим весом, чем традиционная
• Меньшее потребление энергии по сравнению с традиционным велодромом
• Стратегически размещенные кровельные фонари сокращают необходимость в искусственном освещении и способствуют естественной вентилляции
• На 30% меньшее потребление энергии по сравнению с требованиями строительного законодательства от  2006 года 
• Водосберегающее оборудование и водосборники для последующего повторного использования помогут сократить потребление воды более чем на 70%
• Использована устойчиво добытая древесина

Velodrome facilities:

* 250m UCI (International Cycling Union) approved indoor track and 100m warm-up circuit

* 6,000 seats and 360 degree public poncourse in legacy for viewing all cycling activities

* Legacy café, changing rooms, cycle workshop, and storage for over 300 bikes

* Legacy bike hire outlet for families to hire bikes to use the new cycling facilities

* Venue will be linked into cycle routes across London, linking the new venue with the whole of the capital

Velodrome design:

* Distinct Velodrome roof designed to reflect the geometry of the cycling track

* The 6,000 seats are split into a lower and upper tier, allowing a 360 degrees concourse level in between with a continuous ribbon of full height windows

* The 360-degree glazed concourse level in legacy will offer spectators inside the Velodrome views out onto the rest of the Olympic Park and across the London skyline, while allowing people outside of the Velodrome views into the venue and down onto the cycling track

Construction:

* Some 48,000 cubic metres of material was excavated to create the bowl for the Velodrome, enough to fill 19 50m swimming pools

* More than 900 piles were driven up to 26m beneath the ground to complete the foundations of the venue

* More than 2,500 sections of steelwork were installed to complete the steel structure of the Velodrome

* The cable-net roof is 12,000sq m in size and uses 16km of cabling

* A team of 26 specialist carpenters have installed 356 vertical timber support trusses that will support the track

* 56km of surface timber will be laid to form the track surface. The track surface will be built from a sustainably-sourced Siberian pine

Sustainability elements:

* The building has been designed to be lightweight and efficient to reflect the efficient design of a bicycle

* The use of abundant daylight through strategically positioned rooflights reduces need for artificial lighting and allows natural ventilation

* Water saving fittings and collection of rainwater for reuse in building are built into design to help reduce water consumption

* Compact design minimises energy consumed to heat the main arena

* Lightweight cable-net roof structure weighs 30kg/m2 compared to 65kg/m2 for the Beijing Velodrome, helping create a highly efficient building
