Stratford Box Pumping Station is a new ground-water pumping station for Thames Water that sits within the context of the 2012 Olympic Park. It forms part of a new water-main scheme that will provide an additional raw water source for London during drought conditions. The pumping station is located within a sensitive nature conservation site and the emerging designs take account of the need to preserve and enhance the character of the surrounding open space. At the same time the physical appearance of the building fits into the Olympic design themes and legacy proposals following the games.
