During 2016, we incurred $19.4 million of losses on a transportation project within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment as a result of productivity issues attributable to unfavorable job-site conditions. In addition, within the United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, we incurred $18.3 million of losses on a project at a process facility as a result of a contract dispute with our customer and $9.6 million of losses on an institutional project due to project delays and unfavorable job-site conditions. The results of our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment included revenues of $12.1 million recognized during 2015 as a result of the settlement of a claim on an institutional project located in the Southeastern region of the United States. Our United Kingdom building services segment recognized income of $4.8 million during 2014, which has been recorded as a reduction of "Cost of sales" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of a reduction in the estimate of certain accrued contract costs that were no longer expected to be incurred within its building services operations.
