Utility works and the 2012 Olympics

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will have a significant effect on utility works. During much of 2012, restrictions will be placed on the work that we and other utility companies are allowed to do. Please, help us to help you, by taking these constraints into consideration when planning new connections or diversionary works.

Ther Olympic Route Network is a network of roads linking venues to ensure the thousands of athletes, officials and others working at the Games can travel reliably, safely and securely, to reach their venues on time.

 

Key routes and utility works

No planned road works will be allowed on key routes before, and during the Games. There will also be a restriction on the work allowed on some parts of the electricity network connecting railways, airports and broadcasting sites. This means from 1 June to 14 September 2012, no utility works will take place in these areas and they will be limited before and after these dates.

We realise these restrictions will have an impact on our activities. We will provide specific advice and will work closely with you, to ensure any disruptions to your project are kept to a minimum.

We would therefore like to ask for your help in giving us as much notice as possible when applying for any new connections or diversions, so that we can work with you to complete these outside the restricted periods.

Emergencies

Our contingency plans are designed to make sure we can attend to any emergencies, such as faults causing loss of supply, quickly and safely during the Games.
