London 2012 Olympics: Locog hit snag over beach volleyball venue construction:

”Horse Guards is six weeks to get on site after the Trooping the Colour is
complete and Greenwich Park is a bit more time, but the aim is to make sure
we take as little of the park for as small a time as public so the stadium
goes up and then the site is expanded out.”

Jepson said constructing the venues with seating and toilets and other
paraphenalia is business as usual, but it is the field of play at both
venues that adds to the complexity.

The metal deck underneath the equestrian arena has been tested by both
showjumpers and dressage riders at Berkshire and found to be acceptable,
alleviating earlier concerns it may reverberate and scare the horses with
any unusual sensation or noise. When installed the metal decking will be
covered with layers of synthetic mix of track.

”The spring and bounce has to be exactly like it is on the ground,” Jepson
said.

The same project team will also construct the temporary venues at the Mall for
the start and finish of the marathon and road cycling and Hyde Park for the
triathlon finish and marathon swimming events.
