GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table presents the goodwill balance by reportable segment:



	Rail Products and Services		Construction Products		Tubular and Energy Services		Total
Balance at December 31, 2017	$	14,638	$	5,147	$	—	$	19,785
Foreign currency translation impact	344		—		—		344
Balance at March 31, 2018	$	14,982	$	5,147	$	—	$	20,129

The Company performs goodwill impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter, and also performs interim goodwill impairment tests if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. No goodwill impairment test was required in connection with these evaluations for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company continues to monitor the recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with certain reporting units of the Company and the long-term financial projections of the businesses. Sustained declines in the markets we serve may result in future long-lived asset impairment.

The following table represents the gross other intangible assets balance by reportable segment:
