Erection All Risk (EAR) Insurance in Chennai — Plant Installation Cover

Car • Lorry • Fleet • Factory • Health

Erection All Risk covers a plant or machine at its most vulnerable — during transit, storage, and while it's being installed and tested, not just once it's running. I'll help you get the project period and testing phase covered properly, since that's usually where a policy has quiet gaps.

Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Documents you'll need

  • Contract value and any variation orders
  • Project timeline and phase the equipment was in at loss
  • Photos and incident report from the site
  • Equipment specifications and installation records

What affects premium and acceptance

  • Contract/project value and equipment type
  • Project duration and complexity of erection work
  • Testing/commissioning scope and whether it's a standard or extended process

Mistakes that delay or reduce claims

  • Cover period doesn't include buffer for project delays
  • Testing/commissioning phase assumed covered but not explicitly stated
  • Contract value not properly documented
  • Loss happens after the stated project period ends, before final commissioning
  • Damage during testing disputed as outside standard erection cover
  • Contract value doesn't match what's actually being installed

Before you buy

  • Confirm the exact project start and completion dates — the cover period needs to match, with buffer for delays
  • Get the equipment's replacement/contract value in writing, not an estimate
  • Check whether testing and commissioning is explicitly included, not just assumed
  • List any existing property nearby that could be damaged during erection

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?I'm hiring a crane for 3 months — do I need annual insurance?

Short-term CPM policies can cover specific project durations. If you hire equipment frequently, annual coverage may be more economical. We compare both options for you.

?Does CPM insurance cover the operator/driver too?

CPM covers the machine — not the operator's injuries. For operator/worker injuries, you need Workmen Compensation insurance. We help you set up both together.
