Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Information by Segment and Georgraphic Area
Information by Segment and Geographic Area
The Company reports information about its 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 2013, the Company had four reportable segments. These segments and the types of products and services offered include the following:
Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment
These businesses provide on-site, outsourced services to steel mills and other metal producers such as aluminum and copper. Services include slag processing; semi-finished inventory management; material handling; scrap management; in-plant transportation; and a variety of other services. Other major products and services include minerals and recycling technologies; environmental solutions for metals and mining customers' waste streams; and granules for asphalt roofing shingles as well as abrasives for industrial surface preparation derived from coal slag. Major customers include steel mills and asphalt roofing manufacturers.

Harsco Infrastructure Segment
Historically, major services included project engineering and equipment installation, as well as the sale and rental of scaffolding, shoring and concrete forming systems for industrial maintenance and capital improvement projects, civil infrastructure projects, non-residential construction, and international multi-dwelling residential construction projects. Services were provided to industrial and petrochemical plants; the infrastructure construction, repair and maintenance markets; commercial and industrial construction contractors; and public utilities. As a result of the Infrastructure transaction, this Segment no longer recognizes revenue from operations. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for additional information on the Infrastructure transaction.

Harsco Rail Segment
This Segment manufactures railway track maintenance equipment and provides track maintenance services. The major customers include private and government-owned railroads and urban mass transit systems worldwide.

Harsco Industrial Segment
Major products include industrial grating; air-cooled heat exchangers; and boilers and water heaters. Major customers include industrial plants and the non-residential, commercial and public construction and retrofit markets; and the natural gas exploration and processing industry.


Other Information
The measurement basis of segment profit or loss is operating income (loss). There are no significant inter-segment sales. Corporate assets 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:

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, sales to one customer, ArcelorMittal, principally in the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment, were $268.6 million, $283.3 million and $361.9 million, respectively. For 2011, this amount represented more than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues. These revenues were provided under multiple long-term contracts at several mill sites. In addition, the Harsco Metals & Minerals Segment is dependent largely on the global steel industry, and in 2013, 2012 and 2011 there were two customers, including ArcelorMittal, that each provided in excess of 10% of this Segment's revenues under multiple long-term contracts at several mill sites. The loss of any one of these contracts would not have a material adverse impact upon the Company's financial position or cash flows; however, it could have a material effect on quarterly or annual results of operations. Additionally, consolidation in the global steel industry has increased the Company's exposure to these customers. 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.
In 2013 and 2011, the Harsco Rail Segment had two customers and in 2012 one customer that provided in excess of 10% of the Segments' revenues. In 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Harsco Industrial 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.
As a result of the Infrastructure transaction, the Company recorded an estimated non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge of $241.3 million during the third quarter of 2013. The Company recorded an additional loss on disposal of Harsco Infrastructure Segment of $30.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the Infrastructure transaction.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $265.0 million related to the Harsco Infrastructure Segment. See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, for additional disclosure regarding the goodwill impairment charge.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company implemented the 2011/2012 Restructuring Program to further optimize rental assets and sales inventories in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment; reduce the number of administrative locations in the Harsco Infrastructure and Harsco Metals & Minerals Segments; and reduce the global workforce in the Harsco Infrastructure and Harsco Metals & Minerals Segments. The Harsco Infrastructure and Harsco Metals & Minerals Segments recorded pre-tax charges of $88.6 million and $5.5 million respectively, for the 2011/2012 Restructuring Program in 2012. The Harsco Infrastructure and Harsco Metals & Minerals Segments recorded pre-tax charges of $87.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively, for the 2011/2012 Restructuring Program in 2011.
