ArcelorMittal Orbit

Die ArcelorMittal Orbit.

Die ArcelorMittal Orbit is 'n oriëntasiepunt en 'n 114,5 m hoë uitkyktoring in die Olimpiese Park in Stratford, Londen. Die toring is op 11 Mei 2012 ingehuldig, voor die aanvang van die Londense Olimpiese Spele in 2012.

Die staalstruktuur is die grootste kunswerk in 'n openbare ruimte van die Verenigde Koninkryk. Dit is ontwerp as permanente en blywende herinnering aan die ligging van Londen as gasheer van die Olimpiese Spele. Die toring is geleë tussen die Olimpiese Stadion en die London Aquatics Centre.

Die toring is deur Anish Kapoor en Cecil Balmond ontwerp. Die idee vir die konstruksie is op 31 Maart 2010 aan die publiek bekendgemaak na seleksie deur 'n nege stuk adviserende wedstryd-paneel. Dit volg nadat die burgemeester van Londen, Boris Johnson en die Olimpiese Minister, Tessa Jowell in 2008 besluit het dat die park ietsie ekstra kort en ontwerpers versoek het om voorstelle vir 'n oriëntasiepunt in te dien.

Die toring beskik oor twee uitkykplatforms, elk met 'n kapasiteit van 150 persone van waar die publiek oor die hele park en tot 30 km oor Londen kan uitkyk. Twee hysbakke verleen toegang tot die platforms, elk met 'n kapasiteit van 21 persone. Daarnewens is toegang ook moontlik met 'n wenteltrap van 455 treë. Die konstruksie is gebou uit 2 000 ton staal, waarvan 63% herwonne skrootstaal is. Verder is 35 000 boute en 19 000 liter verf gebruik. As die struktuur uitgerol kon word, sou dit 'n totale lengte van 560 m hê.

Die toring het 22,7 miljoen Britse pond gekos, waarvan die metaalmagnaat Lakshmi Mittal 19,6 miljoen pond gefinansier het. Hiermee het hy die maatskappy waarvan hy die voorsitter is, ArcelorMittal, se naam aan die toring gekoppel.

Tydens die Olimpiese Spele was die toring, teen 'n toegangsprys van 15 pond, vir die publiek toeganklik gewees. Na die omskakeling van die park is die toring vanaf 2014 permanent vir besoekers oopgestel.
