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	(219)		—		—		(219)

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 interim goodwill impairment test was required in connection with the evaluation of qualitative factors for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company continues to monitor the recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with certain reporting units of the Company and their long-term financial projections. Sustained declines in the markets we serve may result in future long-lived asset impairment.

The following table represents the gross balances of other intangible asset by reportable segment:
