MWH Global (USA) announce that it has signed a definitive agreement with Biwater Holdings Limited (“Biwater Holdings”) to acquire its U.K. based subsidiary Biwater Services Limited (“Biwater Services”). Biwater Services is a leading U.K. water construction and engineering firm, acting as the holding company for Biwater Treatment, Farrer Consulting and BiProduct Recovery.
