Introducing Engineering

In the complex world of engineering and renewable energy projects, it’s essential that your clients receive expert guidance from a team with a wide range of experience.

Why do clients need Engineering cover?

  • Clients have their own or hired-in plant, machinery and equipment and they will want to reduce the time their business is down if an important bit of kit isn't working
  • They can be at risk of accidental or unforeseen damage such as if an employee makes an error in operation
  • Most plant and machinery requires regular inspection to ensure that it complies with the appropriate legislation

Why choose Aviva's Engineering cover?

What cover can we offer?
  • Owned plant, all-risks cover - we’ll replace or repair the plant and equipment anywhere in the UK and temporarily within Europe
  • Hired-in plan, all risks cover - we’ll cover your client’s legal liability under the terms of the hiring agreement
  • Plant and machinery - cover for installation, maintenance and delay in start-up
  • Computers - cover for company-owned computers such as desktops, laptops, mainframes, printers, computerised telephony and uninterruptible power supply software 
  • Electronic Equipment - owned or hired-in electrically powered audio, visual or other equipment that carries out process, monitoring or control functions
