ProjectsLondon 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
CLM, a consortium of CH2M (now Jacobs), Laing O’Rourke and Mace, was appointed by the Olympic Delivery Authority to deliver the Olympic Park and associated infrastructure for London 2012. We helped to deliver a six-year, $15 billion program to design and build 30 sustainable venues and scalable infrastructure. To top it off, the project was completed a year ahead of schedule and 10% below budget.
