Contractors’ All Risk Insurance Policy
Civil construction projects such as buildings, roads, dams, airports, water tanks, flyovers, tunnels, sewage treatment plants, etc. face many foreseen and unseen risks. These can be physical loss or damage to property, plant, machinery, and tools, works brought on to the site and temporary works erected on-site, as well as third-party liability related to work conducted on the site.
