- Contractors’ All Risk
- Erection All Risk
- Contractors’ Plant and Machinery
- Machinery Breakdown
- Boiler Explosion
- Electronic Equipment
Contractors’ All Risk
it is a type of engineering insurance which is covered any building or civil engineering works against accidents resulting in physical damage, destruction of works under construction and any temporary structures, contractors’ plant and equipment on the site. It is designed to cover static building and civil engineering work only.

Contractors’ Plant and Machinery
is a type of CAR majorly used to facilitate the execution of CAR and EAR works and also renders its services only when moving and under the control of an operator.
Machinery Breakdown
it covers unforeseen and sudden physical loss of or damage to the insured items, necessitating their repair or replacement. Loss or damage covered under machinery insurance is mainly due to human failure (carelessness, negligence, faulty operation, lack of skill…), Operational causes (shortage of water, overheating, impact, physical explosion and implosion…), inherent cause/Manufacturer’s faults (faulty calculation, defective, material or casting, bad workmanship…), Electrical cause (faulty insulation, excess voltage.
Boiler Explosion
It gives cover against the results of an explosion or collapse of a boiler ‘whilst in the course of ordinary working’. Its cover usually consists of damage to the insured’s actual boiler, damage to insured’s surrounding property, damage to third party property and death/injury to third parties.
