What is Civil Engineering Insurance?

Civil Engineering Insurance is a specialised form of business insurance designed to meet the unique challenges faced by civil engineering firms and associated trades such as concrete placing, directional drilling, haulage, paving, piling, and more. In this industry, risks often extend to working at height, extreme depths, handling asbestos, or operating in other high-risk locations. These factors can significantly impact insurance premiums, sometimes making them a considerable expense or even unavailable.

What insurance does a civil engineer need?

  • Employers' Liability Insurance: Legally required if you employ staff, covering expenses related to injuries or illnesses sustained on the job.
  • Public Liability Insurance: Strongly advised for covering injuries or property damage involving the public or clients.
  • Plant and Machinery Insurance: Essential for covering your engineering equipment and machinery against damage or theft.
  • Hired-In Plant Insurance: Covers the cost of repairing or replacing hired-in machinery and equipment that gets damaged or stolen.
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance: Important for those offering consultancy or engineering services, protecting against financial loss from faulty designs or advice.
  • Contract Works Insurance: Covers physical loss or damage to ongoing engineering projects.
  • Stock and Materials Insurance: Protects your project materials and stock from loss or damage.
  • Business Interruption Insurance: Covers financial losses due to unforeseen disruptions like fires or floods.
  • Personal Accident Insurance: Provides financial support if you're unable to work due to an accident.
  • Legal Expenses Insurance: Covers legal costs related to business disputes.
  • Directors and Officers Insurance: Provides protection for the personal liabilities of your company's directors and officers, covering the cost of claims made against them.
