Insurance for construction and engineering firms, as well as other industries for their plant and machinery
We know construction firms face increasingly complex and evolving risks due to continuous expansion and technological innovation. We provide specialised coverage, design a robust risk management programme, and help you develop your safety culture – whether you’re an individual contractor or a business owner of a project during construction.
Power generators and other industrial and manufacturing companies also face increasingly challenging and complex risks in an ever-changing sector. These industries rely on fully functioning and reliable plant and machinery to enable them to fulfil their business and customer’s needs.
Chubb understands the needs of operational power clients, offering full Property All Risks cover including Machinery Breakdown. In addition to power, other industries often see Machinery Breakdown excluded from Property All Risks insurance policies - for which we offer supremely reliable cover for your business critical equipment
Our experienced underwriters and engineers are well versed with the needs of the power industry and the risks and dynamics facing generators and the industry in general. We are market leaders in this specific field of expertise and our products and services will protect your business for the long-term.
