The Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (“EPCM”) segment provides services relating to the development, management and execution of projects requiring professional engineering and related project services primarily to the midstream and downstream sectors throughout the United States. Services provided by the EPCM segment include feasibility studies, engineering, design, procurement and construction management. The EPCM segment includes the government services group, which provides engineering, design, installation, operation and maintenance of various government, public sector and international facilities. Our Automation segment provides services related to the design, fabrication and implementation of process distributed control and analyzer systems, advanced automation, information technology projects to all of the oil and gas sectors throughout the United States as well as a few specific projects abroad.

Sales, operating income, identifiable assets, capital expenditures and depreciation for each segment are set forth in the following table. The amount identified as Corporate includes those activities that are not allocated to the operating segments and include costs related to business development, executive functions, finance, accounting, health, safety, and environmental, human resources and information technology. The Corporate function supports both business segments and therefore cannot be specifically assigned to either segment.
