TYPES OF RISKS & EXPOSURES

Critical vulnerabilities in Infrastructure & Construction.

From highway paving and bridge construction to high-rise commercial structures, contractors navigate physical asset collapse, heavy plant toppling, third-party property damage, and severe monsoon erosion.

Asset & Property01

Structural Collapse & In-Progress Damage

Piers, retaining walls, highway sub-bases, or steel superstructures suffering partial or total collapse during engineering phases due to soil subsidence or flash floods.

Impact: Massive rework expenses and unrecoverable material losses.
Recommended: Contractors All Risks (CAR) / Erection All Risks (EAR)
Asset & Property02

Contractor's Plant & Heavy Machinery Loss

Bulldozers, excavators, road pavers, cranes, and concrete transit mixers tipping on uneven terrain, engine seizure, or falling into trenches.

Impact: Hefty replacement costs and immediate site execution standstills.
Recommended: Contractor's Plant & Machinery (CPM) Insurance
Liability & Legal03

Third-Party Property & Bodily Damage

Vibrations from piling rigs damaging nearby private buildings, overhead crane drops, or excavation damaging buried municipal utility cables.

Impact: Severe third-party compensation claims, injunctions, and stop-work orders.
Recommended: Third-Party Liability (TPL) Extension on CAR
Operational & Interruption04

Monsoon Washouts & Weather Delays (ALOP)

Heavy rainfall washing away freshly laid bituminous road layers or unpaved embankments, leading to missed contract completion deadlines.

Impact: Liquidated damages (LD), loan interest escalation, and lost expected toll or leasing revenue.
Recommended: Road Insurance & Advance Loss of Profits (ALOP)
People & Workforce05

High-Elevation Falls & Subcontractor Fatalities

Scaffolding collapses, trench cave-ins, and moving heavy machinery collisions involving on-site migrant or subcontractor laborers.

Impact: Statutory workmen compensation liabilities and project criminal investigations.
Recommended: Employee Compensation (Project Site Specific)
UNDERWRITING PARAMETERS

01

Soil investigation, hydrology, and geotechnical survey reports

02

Contract scope, concession agreement clauses, and scheduled completion milestones

03

Plant & Machinery list with individual serial numbers, capacities, and market valuations

04

Site layout, flood elevation historical records, and storm-water drainage measures

05

Surrounding third-party structure surveys before piling/excavation begins

SECTOR EXPERTISE

Frequently asked risk questions.

Have questions specific to your facility, assets, or contract wording? Our advisory team is ready to help.

Speak to our sector specialists
Does Contractors All Risks (CAR) cover maintenance periods after construction?

Yes, CAR policies can be structured to include Extended Maintenance or Guarantee periods (typically 12 to 24 months) to cover defects arising from construction during the hand-over phase.

Are subcontractor laborers covered under the principal contractor's policy?

Yes, provided the declared worker headcount or wage roll properly reflects all on-site laborers or an inclusive project-wide Employee Compensation policy is established.

What is Advance Loss of Profits (ALOP / DSU)?

Advance Loss of Profits (also called Delay in Start-Up) covers financial loss (such as lost rental income or debt service interest) if the project's commercial launch is delayed due to an insured physical loss.
