Info

On top of that, each project is different and dedicated covers are available case by case: covering the plant and equipment on site, the existing property of the principal, delay in startup consecutive to a loss, specific interests of lenders and financing parties, project cargo for parts being transported on the construction site, temporary storage, or even the workmen compensation needed by the employer. At AXA, we offer a construction package, which covers and protects the needs of the relevant stakeholders, identified for each contract with the project team. It is also worth focusing on ‘Delay in Start-Up’, also referred to as Advanced Loss of Profit (ALOP). In essence, the ALOP element covers clients against lost revenue following a physical loss under a construction policy. This financial security, although it is an optional cover which comes with a certain cost, is viewed as a very strong security, in particular by financing parties. Proactive Risk Management: the Insurer by the engineers’ side to advise and help prevent incidents Most insurance companies now provide risk engineering advice on best practices in health and safety on site, adherence to engineering standards, and/or compliance with applicable standards and regulations related to the protection of construction sites. Risk engineers can provide auditing and testing of project risk management as well as support customers who require an independent organization to oversee contractors from a risk management perspective. This can range from a small house building contract to some of the largest and most complex construction and engineering projects across the globe. Risk engineers are highly specialised in construction projects, and have generally been involved within the construction industry with experience in all aspects of Construction Risk Management. Risk management services provide support and advice at every stage of a building’s life cycle. It can support those involved from the conception stage of a construction project and throughout its occupation and can play a key role in the risk management of the project. Unlike other insurers, we at AXA do not outsource our risk management services. We have approximately 160 specialist risk engineers located worldwide and carry out all risk survey site inspections including power plants, industrial building as well as high rise residential building. Focus on Health and Safety The construction industry can be a dangerous place to work, creating many health and safety challenges. This is why we think it is essential to work with a dedicated risk management team who have the expertise to advise on the best ways to mitigate risk during the construction process and beyond as the building is occupied. AXA Risk Engineers can provide: • The skills in-house to provide support during the initial discussion with the design team • Surveys for contract works, whether it’s a oneoff project, a large phased construction project or a PFI contract • Experts who can give advice on problematic aspects of any building • Visits to site to suit customer requirements during the building phase as the site changes and the risks evolve • Third Party audits against Joint Code of Practice requirements • Advice on Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and BREEAM (the leading design and assessment method for sustainable buildings). Methods of construction may be new to certain clients, but there’s every chance that we have experience of that method and can give appropriate advice • Advise on security if we know that a site will become vulnerable. We work with our partners to provide specialist temporary high-security steel screens, alarm systems and round-theclock monitoring with an emergency call-out service.
Gold Star For JCB As Machines Take A Bow In Cult Film A fleet of more than 20 JCB machines is playing a starring role in a cult film following the biggest product placement project in the company’s history. Skid steers loaders, Loadall telescopic handlers and JS excavators were supplied to 20th Century Fox for the making of the new Alien Covenant film which hit UK cinema screens on Friday. They star alongside Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston wrapped in stunning gold – the idea of British film director and producer Ridley Scott designed to give them a futuristic look. JCB Worldwide Marketing Director Michael Plummer said: “This is the biggest product placement exercise in JCB’s history and involved more than £1 million worth of machines. Ridley Scott’s idea to wrap the machines in gold delivered a stunning result and is certainly an eye-catching addition to a film which will be seen by millions of people around the world.” The machines - which appear in the film’s finale - were supplied with the help of JCB dealer Construction Equipment Australia to the movie set in Sydney, Australia. Six JCB generators were also provided for the film makers to use. The equipment is used in the so-called ‘terraforming bay’, the area which alters the environment to make it capable of supporting terrestrial life. Alien Covenant is set almost 100 years in the future and is the sixth Alien franchise film to be made. Construction Leaders • June 2017 31
