Erection All Risk Insurance(EAR)
EAR policies are designed to cover the risk of loss arising out of the erection and installation of machinery, plant and steel structures, including physical damage to the contract works, equipment and machinery, and liability for third-party bodily injury (BI) or property damage (PD) arising out of these operations. Coverage for delay in start-up (DSU) costs is typically an optional coverage. Covered parties include the general contractor, subcontractors, and in some cases suppliers and manufacturers of equipment.
Need for Erection All Risk Insurance
The long process of erecting a whole building structure requires time and a lot of hard work. Besides the construction, there is equipment and machinery that need to be set up, tested, and installed for a construction plant to successfully function. So, as the process involves several steps and equipment and people working on establishing a complete building, structure or plant, there are also several risks and threats involved. Hence you need an Erection All Risk policy to protect you and your resources from the start to finish of the process of erecting a new structure.
