FIND EXPERTS

We have the specialised expertise to undertake a wide range of bespoke risk assessments for underwriters, brokers and insureds ranging from desktop exercises to full site inspection and reporting.

Through our global network, we can capitalize on our in-house expertise to deliver the highest calibre of service at competitive market rates.

Our local presence enables our surveyors to access remote regions and facilitates both the cultural and logistical support which is vital in undertaking a successful survey.

REPORTING STANDARDS

Our approach is always to ensure that stakeholders are consistently and clearly informed of the requirements throughout from the proposal stage and site inspections/analysis through to the issue of the final report.

Our survey reports and risk assessments clearly outline the quality of the risk, present a comparison of the risk to international “best practice” where possible and provide key recommendations for improvement based on recognised international standards.

Our engineers undertake detailed assessments of Nat Cat risks, site assets, operations, maintenance, engineering & inspections, emergency systems and procedures. We offer comment on the current valuations/sum insured and assess the various scenarios to identify the highest Estimated/Probable Maximum Loss (EML/PML) event as well as Business Interruption / DSU analyses.

Our promise is to deliver accurate, independent and tailored reports in line with our clients’ need and agreed timescales.
