Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative InstrumentsThe Company transacts business in various foreign countries and may therefore be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has established risk management programs to protect against volatility in the value of non-functional future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and tries to maintain a partial or fully hedged position for certain transaction exposures when management considers appropriate. The Company enters into short-term foreign currency derivatives contracts, namely forward contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these
derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with a large financial institution, and accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institution are not material.

The Company sources certain materials for its concrete products from a wholly owned subsidiary in China, and as a result is exposed to variability in cash outflows associated with changes in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Chinese Yuan (CNY). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts.

Net deferred gains and losses on these contracts relating to changes in fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss ("OCI"), a component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets, and are reclassified into the line item in the consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized gains of $0.6 million, as a reduction of cost of sales. Changes in fair value of any forward contracts that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from OCI into earnings. The amounts deferred in OCI are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations during 2022. There were no amounts recognized due to ineffectiveness during the year ended December 31, 2021.
