EAG helping build an Olympic ready London

 

English Architectural Glazing is celebrating its role in helping build the infrastructure needed to turn London into a world class sporting arena.

 

As the capital celebrates a triumphant bid to host the 2012 Olympics, Suffolk based firm English Architectural Glazing is celebrating its role in helping build the infrastructure needed to turn London into a world class sporting arena. The specialist glazing company has already begun work to clad and glaze London City Airport's station which will convey passengers directly into the capital via the Docklands Light Railway. The work is part of the vital regeneration needed in the East End of London to make it capable of hosting such a high profile event.

 

The airport will be used by millions jetting into the city and will act as a gateway for tourists, dignitaries and sportspeople alike.

 

Edward Whipp, EAG's pre construction director, said: 'This is fantastic news not just for the country as a whole but also for EAG.

 

We are already working on the station at London City Airport to provide both glazing and aluminium cladding'.

 

'The project is a multi million pound one that will see the trains running to the airport by the end of the year'.

 

He added: 'As well as building a world class Olympic Park, London has a lot of work to do to make sure the infrastructure is in place to deal with the volume of people traveling around during the event and we are expecting an increased workload over the next few years as a result'.

 

'We are proud to be part of the current regeneration work and extremely pleased that London has won the right to hold the Olympics in 2012.'
