Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

The table below summarizes changes in goodwill recorded by the Company during the periods ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:



	December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Beginning balance, January 1	$	33,798	$	33,798
Additions	32,184		—
Ending balance	$	65,982	$	33,798

Additions to goodwill were attributable to the acquisition of TAS. No indicators of goodwill impairment were identified during the year ended December 31, 2015. The additions above represent goodwill calculated for the acquisition at the date of closing, less the working capital adjustment (See Note 3).

Intangible assets

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



	2015			2014
Intangible assets, January 1	$	7,602		$	7,602
Additions	26,760			—
Total intangible assets, end of year	34,362			7,602

Accumulated amortization	$	(7,515	)	$	(7,405	)
Current year amortization	(4,418		)	(110		)
Total accumulated amortization	(11,933		)	(7,515		)

Net intangible assets, end of year	$	22,429		$	87

Finite-lived intangible assets were acquired as part of the purchase of TAS which included contractual backlog and customer relationships. Contractual backlog was valued at approximately $8.7 million and will be amortized over two years. Customer relationships were valued at approximately $18.1 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 year ended December 31, 2015, $4.3 million of amortization expense was recognized for these assets. Future expense remaining of approximately $22.4 million will be amortized as follows:



2016	$	7,287
2017	4,554
2018	3,168
2019	2,462
2020	1,955
Thereafter	3,003
	$	22,429

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 December 31, 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 was fully recognized during 2015.
