WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff has acquired an industrial water consultancy from oilfield services firm Schlumberger.
The 250-employee business will enable the company to provide services and project solutions to industrial clients worldwide and will establish a presence for WSP in Chile and Peru.
The acquisition will also add to its presence in a number of countries in which it currently operates, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Colombia and Mexico. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016.
“The industrial water consultancy team will bring WSP an increased presence in the attractive global water market, more specifically, in the supply, management, control and environmental protection of water,” said Alexandre L’Heureux, the incoming President and Chief Executive Officer of WSP.
It follows WSP’s recent acquisition of Sweett Group, a provider of professional services for the construction and management of building and infrastructure projects.
