RESTRUCTURING
2017 Restructuring
On July 28, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2017 Restructuring. As part of the 2017 Restructuring, the Company announced plans to: (i) divest Bayou; (ii) exit all non-pipe related contract applications for the Tyfo® system in North America; (iii) right-size the cathodic protection services operation in Canada and the CIPP businesses in Australia and Denmark; and (iv) reduce corporate and other operating costs.
During 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved additional actions with respect to the 2017 Restructuring, which included the decisions to: (i) divest the Australia and Denmark CIPP businesses; (ii) take actions to further optimize operations within North America, including measures to reduce consolidated operating costs; and (iii) divest or otherwise exit multiple additional international businesses, including: (a) the Company’s cathodic protection installation activities in the Middle East, including Corrpower International Limited, the Company’s cathodic protection materials manufacturing and production joint venture in Saudi Arabia; (b) United Pipeline de Mexico S.A. de C.V., the Company’s Tite Liner® joint venture in Mexico; (c) the Company’s Tite Liner® businesses in Brazil and Argentina; (d) Aegion South Africa Proprietary Limited, the Company’s Tite Liner® and CIPP joint venture in the Republic of South Africa; and (e) the Company’s CIPP contract installation operations in England.
Total pre-tax 2017 Restructuring and related impairment charges since inception were $139.7 million ($125.9 million post-tax) and consisted of cash charges totaling $25.8 million and non-cash charges totaling $113.9 million. Cash charges included employee severance, retention, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other restructuring costs associated with the restructuring efforts described above. Non-cash charges included (i) $86.4 million related to goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges recorded in 2017 as part of exiting the non-pipe FRP contracting market in North America, and (ii) $27.5 million related to allowances for accounts receivable, write-offs of inventory and long-lived assets, impairment of definite-lived intangible assets, as well as net losses on the disposal of both domestic and international entities. The Company reduced headcount by approximately 360 employees as a result of these actions.
The Company expects to incur additional cash and non-cash charges of $15 million to $19 million during 2019. The identified charges are primarily focused in the international operations of both Infrastructure Solutions and Corrosion Protection, but will also include certain charges in Energy Services to a lesser extent. The Company expects to reduce headcount by an additional 100 employees as a result of these further actions.
During 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded pre-tax expenses related to the 2017 Restructuring as follows (in thousands):

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. During 2016, the Company completed its restructuring, which included 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 reduced consolidated annual expenses by approximately $17.4 million, of which approximately $1.2 million, $6.6 million and $5.6 million related to recognized savings within Infrastructure Solutions, Corrosion Protection and Energy Services, respectively, and $4.0 million related to reduced corporate costs. Cost savings were achieved primarily through office closures and reducing headcount by 964 employees, or 15.5% of the Company’s total workforce as of December 31, 2015.
The Company recorded total pre-tax charges, most of which were cash charges, of $16.1 million ($10.3 million post-tax) in connection with the 2016 Restructuring. These charges included employee severance, retention, extension of benefits, early lease termination and other restructuring costs associated with the restructuring efforts described above.
