Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General
GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Aegion Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Aegion” or the “Company”) reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period. All significant intercompany related accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, and the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, consequently, do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements or all the disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2017.

Acquisitions/Strategic Initiatives/Divestitures
2016 Restructuring
On January 4, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2016 Restructuring”) to reduce the Company’s exposure to the upstream oil markets and to reduce consolidated expenses. The 2016 Restructuring repositioned Energy Services’ upstream operations in California, reduced Corrosion Protection’s upstream exposure by divesting its interest in a Canadian pipe coating joint venture, right-sized Corrosion Protection to compete more effectively and reduced corporate and other operating costs. See Note 3.
Infrastructure Solutions Segment (“Infrastructure Solutions”)
On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired Environmental Techniques Limited and its parent holding company, Killeen Trading Limited (collectively “Environmental Techniques”), for a purchase price of £6.5 million, approximately $8.0 million, which was funded from the Company’s international cash balances. The purchase price is subject to post-closing working capital adjustments and included £1.0 million, approximately $1.2 million, held in escrow as security for any post-closing purchase price adjustments and post-closing indemnification obligations of Environmental Techniques’s previous owners. Environmental Techniques provides trenchless drainage inspection, cleaning and rehabilitation throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired Concrete Solutions Limited (“CSL”) and Building Chemical Supplies Limited (“BCS”), two New Zealand companies (collectively, “Concrete Solutions”), for a purchase price paid at closing of NZD 7.5 million, approximately $5.5 million. The purchase price is subject to post-closing working capital adjustments and included NZD 0.5 million, approximately $0.4 million, held in escrow as security for post-closing purchase price adjustments and post-closing indemnification obligations of the previous owners. The sellers have the ability to earn up to an additional NZD 2.0 million, approximately $1.4 million, of proceeds based on reaching certain performance targets in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash balances. CSL provides structural strengthening, concrete repair and bridge jointing solutions primarily through application of fiber reinforced polymer (“FRP”) and injection resins and had served as a Fibrwrap® certified applicator in New Zealand for a number of years. BCS imports and distributes materials, including fiber reinforced polymer, injection resins, repair mortars and protective coatings.
On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired the cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) contracting operations of Leif M. Jensen A/S (“LMJ”), a Danish company and the Insituform licensee in Denmark since 2011. The purchase price was €2.9 million, approximately $3.2 million, and was funded from the Company’s international cash balances.
On May 13, 2016, the Company acquired the operations and territories of Fyfe Europe S.A. and related companies (“Fyfe Europe”) for a purchase price of $3.0 million. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash balances. Fyfe Europe held rights to provide Fibrwrap® product engineering and support to installers and applicators of FRP systems in 72 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The acquisition of these territories now provides the Company with worldwide rights to market, manufacture and install the patented Tyfo® Fibrwrap® FRP technology.
On February 18, 2016, the Company acquired Underground Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiary, Underground Solutions Technologies Group, Inc. (collectively, “Underground Solutions”), for an initial purchase price of $85.0 million plus an additional $5.0 million for the value of the estimated tax benefits associated with Underground Solutions’ net operating loss carry forwards. The purchase price included $6.3 million held in escrow as security for the post-closing purchase price adjustments and post-closing indemnification obligations of Underground Solutions’ previous owners. The transaction was funded partially from the Company’s cash balances and partially from borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Underground Solutions provides infrastructure technologies for water, sewer and conduit applications.
On October 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a realignment and restructuring plan (the “2014 Restructuring”) which included the decision to exit Insituform’s contracting markets in France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. The Company has substantially completed all of the objectives related to the 2014 Restructuring.
Corrosion Protection Segment (“Corrosion Protection”)
On February 1, 2016, the Company sold its fifty-one percent (51%) interest in its Canadian pipe coating joint venture, Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd. (“BPPC”), to its joint venture partner, Perma-Pipe, Inc. The sale price was $9.6 million, which consisted of a $7.6 million payment at closing and a $2.0 million promissory note, which was paid on July 28, 2016. BPPC served as the Company’s pipe coating and insulation operation in Canada. The sale of its interest in BPPC was part of a broader effort by the Company to reduce its exposure in the North American upstream market in light of expectations for a prolonged low oil price environment.
