Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Acquisitions During the first quarter of 2016, Quanta has completed two acquisitions. Quanta acquired a full service medium and high voltage powerline contracting company located in the United States. The results of this company will generally be included in Quanta’s Electric Power Infrastructure Services segment. Quanta also acquired a pipeline service contractor located in the United States, the results of which will generally be included in Quanta’s Oil and Gas Infrastructure Services segment. The aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions was approximately $41.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments and certain contingent consideration payments that may be payable by Quanta. As these transactions were effective during the first quarter of 2016, the results will be included in Quanta’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions should enable Quanta to further enhance its electric power and oil and gas infrastructure service offerings in the United States.
