Three down, 11 to go

The third of 14 floodlight towers to be erected at the Olympic Stadium has been set in place.

As you can see from our images below, the tower - which has a span of around 18 metres and weighs circa 45 tons - was carefully hoisted into position on the arena's new roof by site engineers earlier this week.

With each floodlight structure taking up to 12 hours to affix, the process is a slow and arduous - yet ultimately rewarding - one. West Ham are due to move into the stadium in time for the start of the 2016/17 season.
