(d)Remaining Performance Obligations
Business Services
In the partnership’s construction services business, backlog is defined as revenue yet to be delivered (i.e. remaining performance obligations) on construction projects that have been secured via an executed contract, work order, or letter of intent. As at December 31, 2019 our backlog of construction projects was approximately $7 billion, with the total backlog for the partnership’s construction services operations equating to approximately two years of activity.
Industrials
The partnership’s Brazilian water and wastewater services business is party to certain remaining performance obligations which have a duration of more than one year. As at December 31, 2019, the remaining performance obligations were approximately $12.2 billion, with the most significant relating to the service concession arrangements with various municipalities which have an average term of 24 years.
Infrastructure Services
The partnership’s services provider to the power generation industry had remaining backlog of approximately $9.9 billion as at December 31, 2019. Included in this amount is an estimate of expected future performance obligations related to long-term arrangements to provide fuel assemblies and associated components. The partnership expects to recognize most of this amount as revenue over the next 10 years.
