Engineering Surveys

Machinery breakdown, CAR/EAR and plant claims: repair cost estimation, total loss valuation, diminished value assessment and salvage disposal management.

Our in-house engineers handle machinery and engineering surveys, working alongside our loss adjusters and, on technically complex losses, outside engineering consultants.

We cover machinery breakdown, contractors' all risks, erection all risks, plant and heavy equipment, from factory machinery to construction plant.

What we provide

  • Cause and root-cause investigation
  • Repair cost estimation
  • Total loss valuation
  • Diminished value assessment
  • Salvage disposal management

Selected result

Erection all risks, packaging factory: a newly imported corrugated cardboard machine was damaged during installation when a forklift struck a factory wall. With engineering consultants we identified the root cause, verified the manufacturer's repair requirements against the policy terms and resolved the claim across all the insurers on the risk.
