Pudding Mill Lane features in the latest edition of Concrete Quarterly:
“There is no doubt that this is a more modest building than many in the Olympic park, but it demonstrates that function is no enemy of form, and that in the right hands, even the most uninspiring of facilities can be accomplished with a little architectural pizazz.”

John Lyall Architects went on an office field trip to the Olympic Park last week – partly to see some of our new infrastructure buildings on and around the site, partly to discuss the rest of the Olympic architecture… and partly just to enjoy a glass of wine and catch up with one another!
We took in the sights of three of our pumping stations: Pudding Mill Lane, Old Ford Water Treatment Plant, and Old ford Pumping Station, and walking along The Greenway we also saw The Viewtube, The Orbit Tower, the Olympic Stadium, and then retired to nearby Formans for some excellent smoked salmon!

John Lyall Architects have won a prestigious New London Architecture award for our Pudding Mill Lane pumping station for the Olympics!
Neil Young and John Lyall accepted the NLA award earlier this week, at the impressive Guild Hall in The City of London. This award adds to Pudding Mill Lane’s CEEQUAL Outstanding Achievement Award for excellence in sustainability.
In his opening remarks, NLA Chairman Peter Murray said:
‘As the awards jury we have sought to reward not only excellence in design but also to recognise architecture that complements the surrounding city. The New London Awards are about buildings that sit comfortably with their neighbours and adjacent spaces and the strength of the winners is remarkable. It goes to show that London is attracting the very best in the world in terms of design and built form despite the economic downturn, and is a positive sign of what is to come.’Pudding Mill is just one of a number of award winning Infrastructure projects designed by John Lyall Architects – click here to find out more!

Google has updated its aerial imagery of the Olympic Park – so you can now see our pumping stations under construction on and around the Olympic Park! Use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and take a closer look!
The whole park is a hive of activity, and even though it is a dusty, cluttered construction site in these images, the park is clearly taking shape – and the public spaces and bridges are beginning to look really exciting! Roll on 2012!

These are the latest site photos of our innovative infrastructure work on and around the Olympic Park; three separate facilities, each recovering water which would otherwise be wasted!
Old Ford Pumping Station: the photo above shows one of the four cubes of Corten steel which cluster around the central well head – itself also clad in Corten Steel but with a laser-cut pattern, inspired by the trees of the surrounding nature reserve.
This new pumping station sits above an existing Victorian well, and recovers raw groundwater, pumping it to North London for treatment as drinking water. This facility sits next to another of our new buildings – the Old Ford Water Treatment plant:
This groundbreaking water treatment plant uses the latest technology to treat foul water from the Northern Outfall Sewer, processing it and pumping it into the Olympic Park for use as grey water – watering landscape and pitches.
Our third and final pumping station on site – Stratford Box – is situated on the other side of the Olympic stadium:
The Stratford Box project is a dewatering facility – pumping millions of litres of water from the ground below the nearby Stratford Box railway cutting, route of high speed trains heading from Kings Cross and on towards France.
Clad in variously sized and subtly coloured bricks, the building’s interlocking volumes sit low within another area of natural beauty, in the very centre of the Olympic park.
Keep an eye out for all three buildings (and our completed Pudding Mill Lane Pumping Station) on the telly next summer! (maybe!)

Pudding Mill Lane Pumping station won a major sustainability award at this weeks CEEQUAL Outstanding Achievement Awards, at the Institution of Civil Engineers in Westminster.
CEEQUAL Outstanding Achievement awards 2011 © http://www.steveshipmanphotography.com
The Olympic Park Primary Foul Sewer and Pumping Station was earlier this year rated ’excellent’ under the CEEQUAL sustainability assessment method.
“CEEQUAL is the assessment scheme for civil engineering and the public realm. It assesses how well project and contract teams have dealt with environmental and social issues in their work.”
This prestigious accolade was one of only eight Outstanding Achievement Awards given out this year. Professor Paul Jowitt, chairman of the judging panel and former President of the ICE, said:
“It was clear from the nominations we considered that some genuinely good work is being done but we also felt strongly that the Awards should be about Outstanding Achievement, not what might be called ‘best in show’. We were therefore looking for not just very good practice but for performance that was genuinely exceptional – what CEEQUAL often describes as ‘pinnacle best practice’.
