Cable Car for Olympics

southtower May 2011. London Cable Car for the Olympics

Transport for London (TfL) and the Mayor have announced that work on a cable car across the Thames will start this summer ready for the Olympics next summer. The £50.5 million scheme will connect the Greenwich Peninsula and 02 Arena to the Royal Victoria Docks and the ExCeL Exhibition Centre. Suspended 164 feet above the River Thames, it will take around 5 minutes to make the 1.1km journey in one of 34 gondola cabins and is expected to carry up to 2,500 passengers an hour. The consortium building and running the cable car is to be led by Mace.
CGD Ltd has been working with Docklands Light Railway Ltd (DLRL) and Bircham Dyson Bell on the scheme preparing plans for the Management of Landowner Agreements. Individual plans and sections for each landowner were created showing land use, levels and other important information such as safety zones and airspace. CGD Ltd, working to very tight deadlines, combined design data supplied by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, Mott MacDonald and Doppelmayr with OS data and Hydrographic information in the preparation of these very important plans.
