RESTRUCTURING
2016 Restructuring
On January 4, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2016 Restructuring to reduce its exposure to the upstream oil markets and to reduce consolidated expenses. The Company substantially completed its 2016 Restructuring objectives in the first nine months of 2016, including repositioning Energy Services’ upstream operations in California, reducing Corrosion Protection’s upstream exposure by divesting its interest in a Canadian pipe coating joint venture, right-sizing Corrosion Protection to compete more effectively, and reducing corporate and other operating costs. The 2016 Restructuring is expected to reduce consolidated annual expenses by approximately $17.0 million, most of which is expected to be realized in 2016, primarily through headcount reductions and office closures.
As part of the 2016 Restructuring, the Company reduced headcount by approximately 960 employees, or 15.5% of the Company’s total workforce as of December 31, 2015. Headcount reductions associated with the 2016 Restructuring were substantially completed as of September 30, 2016, with minimal headcount reductions expected in the remainder of the year. The Company expects to record total estimated pre-tax charges, most of which are cash charges, of approximately $15.5 million in connection with the 2016 Restructuring.
Estimated remaining costs to be incurred for the 2016 Restructuring are approximately $0.7 million (pre-tax) and are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily in Corrosion Protection. The estimated remaining costs consist primarily of cash charges related to office closures, employee severance, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other restructuring costs.

Total pre-tax 2016 Restructuring charges during the first nine months of 2016 were $14.8 million ($9.7 million after tax) and consisted primarily of cash charges. These charges included employee severance, retention, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other restructuring costs associated with the restructuring efforts described above.

2014 Restructuring
On October 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2014 Restructuring to improve gross margins and profitability over the long-term by exiting low-return businesses and reducing the size and cost of the Company’s overhead structure.
The 2014 Restructuring generated annual operating cost savings of approximately $10.8 million, which was in-line with the Company’s initial estimate, and consisted of approximately $8.4 million and $2.4 million of recognized savings within Infrastructure Solutions and Corrosion Protection, respectively. The Company achieved these cost savings by (i) exiting certain unprofitable international locations for the Company’s Insituform business and consolidating the Company’s worldwide Fyfe business with the Company’s global Insituform business, all of which is in Infrastructure Solutions; and (ii) eliminating certain idle facilities in the Company’s Bayou pipe coating operation in Louisiana, which is in Corrosion Protection.
The Company has substantially completed all of the aforementioned objectives related to the 2014 Restructuring. Headcount reductions associated with the 2014 Restructuring totaled 86 as of September 30, 2016. Remaining headcount reductions and cash costs related to the 2014 Restructuring are not expected to be material.
Total pre-tax 2014 Restructuring charges since inception were $60.0 million ($44.6 million after tax) and consisted of non-cash charges totaling $48.3 million and cash charges totaling $11.7 million. The non-cash charges of $48.3 million included (i) $22.2 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for Bayou’s pipe coating operation in Louisiana; and (ii) $26.1 million related to impairment of definite-lived intangible assets, allowances for accounts receivable, write-off of certain other current assets and long-lived assets, inventory obsolescence, as well as losses related to the sales of the Company’s CIPP contracting operations in France and Switzerland, which are reported in Infrastructure Solutions. Cash charges totaling $11.7 million included employee severance, retention, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other costs associated with the restructuring of Insituform’s European and Asia-Pacific operations and Fyfe’s worldwide business.
While estimated remaining cash costs to be incurred in 2016 for the 2014 Restructuring are not expected to be material, the Company expects to incur additional non-cash charges in 2016, primarily related to the potential release of cumulative currency translation adjustments resulting from the disposal of certain entities as well as the foreign currency impact from settlement of inter-company loans. All such charges will be recognized in Infrastructure Solutions.
During the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax (income) expense related to the 2014 Restructuring as follows (in thousands):
