The Velodrome is being built on the site of the former West Ham tip and more than 900 piles have now been driven up to 26 metres beneath the ground to complete the foundations of the venue.

Work to construct the concrete base structure of the Velodrome is also now a third of the way through and the first above-ground columns of the Velodrome structure will start to appear in late June.

The 6,000 seat Velodrome will host the Olympic and Paralympic indoor track cycling events in 2012.
