Common questions

Questions about Construction / EPC

What insurance is usually needed during renewable project construction?

The core package normally includes Construction All Risks or Erection All Risks, third-party liability, marine cargo where equipment is imported, delay cover where available, and contractor-specific policies required by the EPC contract.

Can EPC contract clauses be reviewed before quotations are requested?

Yes. We can review the insurance clauses, limits, insured parties, waiver of subrogation, lender requirements and handover language before approaching insurers.

Does testing and commissioning need separate attention?

Yes. Testing, commissioning and energisation can change the risk profile, so the policy wording should be checked for commissioning coverage, exclusions and transition into operational insurance.
