Erection All Risks 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 and liability for third party bodily injury or property damage arising out of these operations. Covered parties include the general contractor, subcontractors, and in some cases suppliers and manufacturers of equipment. Examples of the types of projects for which EAR coverage is typically purchased include power plants, manufacturing and fabrication facilities, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and telecommunications centres (particularly where the erection of signal towers is involved). Some insurers combine erection all risks and contractors all risks coverages into one form. Although these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there are some substantive differences.

Please note that this is a summary of the cover available. The full terms, conditions and exclusions of cover are contained in the respective Policy Wordings. CIB Engineering product is underwritten by Absa Insurance Risk Management Services (PTY) Ltd t/as Airms.
