Erection All Risks (EAR)
This is concerned with erection of electrical/ mechanical plant, machinery, equipment and structures involving no or very little civil engineering work. The manufacturer or supplier is solely responsible for the loss or damage while they are installing, testing and commissioning until handing over to the owner. Erection all risks cover provides comprehensive insurance as the machinery is exposed to many perils. It gives adequate protection for all risks involved in the erection of machinery, plant and steel structures of any kind including third party claims in respect of property damage or bodily injury arising out of or in connection to the execution of an erection project.
