Today, the world is meeting on a global stage in London; immense planning has gone into these Games long before the Olympians and the spectators arrived.
Sustainability and re-use were major themes in developing the structures for the Olympic venues. A 35-ton recycling machine was installed to crush and separate debris and contaminants from the sites. The machine was able to separate up to 500 tons of concrete, soil, metals, and glass each day. Once materials were separated, they were "cleaned" and evaluated for re-use within the Olympic sites.
Accurate and controlled compression is an art and a science. Instron’s testing solution on compression testing of cylindrical concrete specimens provides perspective on crushing concrete in compliance with ASTM C39, the industry standard for more than 80 years.
