Three firms have been shortlisted to build the London 2012 aquatics centre, the first major venue for the Olympic Games. Balfour Beatty, Eiffel and Hochtief have been selected to enter the next stage of the competition to win the US $197 million (£100 million) contract, designed by architect Zaha Hadid.
