The new Lee Valley White Water Centre is the host venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games canoe and kayak slalom events. The £32 million facility was completed in December 2010, 18 months before the games, and is now open to the public. This paper explains how computational and physical hydraulic modelling validated the design and successfully mitigated design risk. Moveable obstacles were used within a fixed channel geometry to create flow constriction points and fine-tune white-water features, while the addition of a separate channel and highly efficient pumping system helps to minimise energy demand while achieving a world-class white-water course.
