Through our global network we bring the necessary technical competence and insurance expertise to bear, striving for rapid claims resolution. Encoded in our DNA are ethical standards, integrity, cultural sensitivity, fairness, technical competence, robustness, rigor.

We have extensive experience in handling mega-projects and major heavy civil engineering construction & erection projects. Our experience spanning the residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure fields, from immersed tunnels to urban infrastructure to nuclear powerplants to industrial and mining facilities. Our claims handling experience includes assignments involving tunnels, bridges, roadworks, airports, commercial property & retail, semi-conductor FABs, data centres, scientific and research installations, hotels, hospitals, schools, dams, ports, harbours & associated wet-works to name but a few. In addition, we have handled significant terrorism and NATCAT exposures.
