Beginning balance, January 1	$	33,798	$	33,798
Additions	36,720		—

Additions to goodwill were attributable to the acquisition of TAS. No indicators of goodwill impairment were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Intangible assets

The tables below present the activity and amortizations of finite-lived intangible assets:



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014
Intangible assets, January 1	$	7,602		$	7,602
Additions	26,220			—
Total intangible assets, end of period	33,822			7,602

Accumulated amortization	$	(7,571	)	$	(7,404	)
Current year amortization	(1,733		)	(84		)
Total accumulated amortization	(9,304		)	(7,488		)

Net intangible assets, end of period	$	24,518		$	114

Intangible assets were acquired as part of the purchase of TAS including contractual backlog and customer relationships. Contractual backlog was valued at approximately $8.5 million and will be amortized over two years. Customer relationships were valued at approximately $17.7 million and will be amortized over eight years. Both of these assets will be amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, $1.7 million of amortization expense was recognized. Future expense remaining of approximately $24.5 million will be amortized as follows:



2015	$	2,555
2016	7,151
2017	4,457
2018	3,098
2019	2,407
Thereafter	4,850
	$	24,518

Additionally, an indefinite-lived asset (trade name) was acquired as part of the purchase of TAS and valued at approximately $6.9 million. This asset will not be amortized but rather will be tested for impairment when indicators exist, and at least annually. No indicators of impairment existed at September 30, 2015.

Intangible assets were acquired in 2012 as part of the purchase of West Construction and amortized over a period of one to three years on a straight line basis. Remaining amortization of $87 thousand has been fully recognized during 2015 and is reflected in current year amortization in the table above.
