  • Overlay
  • Delivery Partner

We partnered with the Rio 2016 Organising Committee across three fronts of Brazil's first Olympic and Paralympic Games: developing the overall overlay budget, leading the Overlay Delivery Partner consortium, and operating the Olympic Stadium. Our work spanned 40 managed venues across 3 clusters and 7.1 million sqm of built area, coordinating 30+ suppliers through 12 months of non-stop on-site delivery. More than 250 staff were directly involved in bringing the Games to life.

Overlay Budget

Overlay Budget

We were proud to partner with the Rio 2016 Organising Committee at early stages to develop the overall overlay budget and consult for the technical and procurement team.

We worked inside the Rio 2016 OC offices alongside architects and Venue Managers to develop the entire Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for the Games.

The final result was extremely accurate, drawing on our local experience from FIFA World Cup 2014 and aligning with IOC practices and consultants throughout a very challenging project.

Delivery Partner

Delivery Partner

We supported the Rio 2016 Organising Committee by leading the Overlay Delivery Partner consortium, managing suppliers and guaranteeing deliveries on site across more than 40 venues distributed across 3 clusters.

We led a consortium of diverse expertise and knowledge that was awarded the Delivery Partner contract for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The relationship between the Organising Committee and the Delivery Partner goes beyond a simple client and supplier dynamic, demanding complete synergy and commitment to schedule and quality.

Working under extreme time pressure, the team fulfilled the OC's expectations while also serving as a last-minute one-stop shop for operational and infrastructure solutions, covering scope gaps left behind by other suppliers.

Olympic Stadium Operation

Olympic Stadium Operation

Our role during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games also included the full setup and operation of the Olympic Stadium before and during the Games.

We led the operation and management of all Olympic Stadium facilities before and during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The challenge was enormous due to overlay construction schedules, changeover movements and legacy adaptations. Our team was responsible for all facility management and maintenance during Games time and the transition to the Paralympic Games, including a dedicated team of civil workers, plumbers, electricians and stadium managers.
