Mapping the Olympic Park
The Olympic Park
We received some very positive feedback following Liz’s blog post a few weeks ago about our ‘Engineering the Olympic Park’ map.
The Institution of Civil Engineers was inundated with requests for copies!
The original print run has now been distributed to ICE members and to education groups visiting the Olympic site.
So, as we’re not able to send out any more copies, we thought it would be a great idea to make it available to download (pdf).
Hopefully it will give you a taster of the development that has taken place on the site since 2001 and the contribution that Civil Engineers have made.
Enjoy!

Would you consider posting a high-resolution version as well for decent prints?

Hi Luke, If you click on the word ‘download’ in the post, you’ll open a pdf which should be high resolution enough to print from.
Thanks, I noticed that – although it’s called “low-resolution” it isn’t bad – probably acceptable for A4 size, I just wondered whether (since it’s so beautiful) there was a better version available – that one does pixellate above 100%. Thanks anyway!
I’ll see what we can do!

Out of interest, here’s a link to the report on archaeological research that was done on the Olympic area by MoLAS-PCA (including map) http://www.molas.org.uk/projects/report_tei.asp?report=olympics&category=olym8_1§ion=olym8
Bring back the steam-shed!
Do you have an interest in maps and digital maps? Well if so can I suggest that you visit http://www.promap.co.uk, the have a huge range of different types of OS maps with the ability to add digital information in the form of overlays.
