Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Repositioning Expenses, Asset Impairments Restructuring and Repositioning Expenses, Asset Impairments
GCP's Board of Directors approves all major restructuring and repositioning programs. Major restructuring programs may involve reorganizations, the discontinuation of significant product lines, the shutdown of significant facilities, or other major strategic initiatives. From time to time, GCP takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary employee terminations that are not a part of a major program. Repositioning activities generally represent major strategic or transformational actions to enhance the value and performance of the Company, improve business efficiency or optimize the Company’s footprint.
Repositioning expenses associated with the Plans discussed below, as well as a review of strategic, financial and operational alternatives, are primarily related to consulting, professional services, and other employee-related costs associated with the Company’s organizational realignment and advancing its technology strategy. Due to the scope and complexity of the Company’s repositioning activities, the range of estimated repositioning expenses and capital expenditures could increase or decrease and the timing of incurrence could change.
2019 Restructuring and Repositioning Plan (the “2019 Plan”) 
        On February 22, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan is focused on GCP’s global supply chain strategy, processes and execution, including its manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, and warehousing operations. The plan also addresses GCP’s service delivery model, primarily in North America, to streamline the Company’s pursuit of combined admixture and VERIFI® opportunities. The program is expected to be completed by December 31, 2020. Please refer to the tables below for financial information pertaining to the 2019 Plan.
2019 Phase 2 Restructuring and Repositioning Plan (the “2019 Phase 2 Plan")
On July 31, 2019, the Board approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan to further optimize the design and footprint of the Company's global organization, primarily with respect to its general administration and business support functions, and streamline cross-functional activities (the “2019 Phase 2 Plan”). The 2019 Phase 2 Plan is expected to result in the net reduction of approximately 8%-10% of the Company's workforce. The program is expected to be completed by December 31, 2021. Please refer to the tables below for financial information pertaining to the 2019 Phase 2 Plan.
Strategic Alternatives Plan
On February 27, 2019, the Company announced a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Over the course of this review, GCP contacted and engaged with both strategic industry players and private equity investors. This process did not result in a transaction that would provide adequate value to the Company's shareholders, and as a result, GCP has determined that it will be pursuing its
standalone strategic and financial plan (the "Strategic Alternatives Plan"). Please refer to the below tables for financial information pertaining to the Strategic Alternatives Plan.
The following table illustrates a summary of the charges incurred and planned in connection with the plans discussed above:

(1)As of June 30, 2020, the cumulative restructuring costs incurred under the 2019 Plan since its inception were $2.1 million, of which $1.7 million was related to the SCC segment and $0.4 million was related to the SBM segment.
(2)As of June 30, 2020, the cumulative restructuring costs recognized under the 2019 Phase 2 Plan since its inception were $5.1 million, of which $3.0 million was attributable to the SCC segment and $2.1 million was attributable to the SBM segment. Estimated total pre-tax costs expected to be incurred in connection with the 2019 Phase 2 Plan decreased by approximately $2 million from the prior estimate due to lower than expected severance costs.

The following tables represent the repositioning expenses incurred and cash payments made under the plans discussed above and other plans during each period:

Asset impairment charges of $0.1 million are attributable to the SBM segment and related to the 2019 Phase 2 Plan during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
