Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Information by Segment and Geographic Area Information by Segment and Geographic Area
The Company reports information about operating segments using the "management approach," which is based on the way management organizes and reports the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company's reportable segments are identified based upon differences in products, services and markets served. In 2019, the Company had three reportable segments. These segments and the types of products and services offered include the following:
Harsco Environmental
The Segment provides environmental services and material processing to the global steel and metals industries. The Segment partners with its global customer base to deliver production-critical on-site operational support and resource recovery services, through management of its customers’ primary waste or byproduct streams. The Segment's services support the metal manufacturing process, generating significant operational and financial efficiencies for its customers and allowing them to focus on their core steelmaking businesses. In addition, this Segment creates value-added downstream products from industrial waste streams.

Harsco Clean Earth
The Segment is one of the largest specialty waste processing companies in the U.S. providing processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, contaminated materials, and dredged volumes.

Harsco Rail Segment
The Segment is a supplier of equipment, after-market parts and services for the construction and maintenance of railway track. The Segment manufactures highly-engineered railway track maintenance equipment and supports a large installed-base of Harsco equipment with a full suite of aftermarket parts. The Segment is a leading supplier of collision avoidance and warning systems to enhance passenger, rail worker, and pedestrian safety, and pioneered a number of measurement and diagnostic technologies that further support railway maintenance programs.


Other Information
The measurement basis of segment profit or loss is operating income. There are no significant inter-segment sales. Corporate assets, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, include principally cash, prepaid taxes, fair value of derivative instruments and U.S. deferred income taxes. Countries with revenues from unaffiliated customers or net property, plant and equipment of ten percent or more of the consolidated totals (in at least one period presented) are as follows:

One customer provided in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Harsco Environmental Segment had one customer that provided in excess of 10% of this Segment's revenues under multiple long-term contracts at several mill sites. Should additional consolidations occur involving some of the steel industry's larger companies which are customers of the Company, it would result in an increase in concentration of credit risk for the Company. The loss of any one of the contracts would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position or cash flows; however, it could have a significant effect on quarterly or annual results of operations.

In 2019, Harsco Clean Earth had no customers in excess of 10% of the Segment's revenues. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Harsco Rail Segment had one customer that provided in excess of 10% of the Segment's revenues. The loss of any of these customers would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial positions or cash flows; however, it could have a material effect on quarterly or annual results of operations.
