Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
BUSINESS SEGMENTS BUSINESS SEGMENTS
    The Company has four reportable segments based on its management structure. Each segment is global in nature with a manager responsible for segment operational performance and the allocation of capital within the segment. Net corporate expense is net of certain service-related expenses that are allocated to business units generally on the basis of employee headcounts.

Reportable segments are as follows:

    UTILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES: This segment consists of the manufacture of engineered steel, concrete and composite structures for the utility markets, including transmission, distribution, substations, and renewable energy generation equipment and drone inspection services;
    ENGINEERED SUPPORT STRUCTURES: This segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of engineered poles, towers, and components for lighting, traffic, and wireless communication markets, engineered access systems, integrated structure solutions for smart cities, and highway safety products;

    COATINGS: This segment consists of global galvanizing, painting, and anodizing services to preserve and protect metal products; and
    IRRIGATION: This segment consists of the global manufacture of center pivot and linear irrigation equipment for agricultural markets, including parts, services and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for water management and precision agriculture.
    The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based upon operating income and invested capital. The Company does not allocate interest expense, non-operating income and deductions, or income taxes to its business segments.
