A press release from WSP Global says the deal would see it become the largest engineering and design firm in the U.S. by revenue. 

In November, WSP reported higher third-quarter profit and revenue amid a rise in acquisition growth. 

WSP completed an acquisition of Ricardo PLC on Oct. 9 after the transaction was initially announced in June.
