Policy cover
• There are 3 main criteria to be considered:
Definition for the testing and commissioning period
Duration
Fulfillment of criteria
Different conditions
Extensions

Conclusion
• The testing and start up phase is the most critical time during an erection project
• Time schedules are an important tool to evaluate critical path and potential buffer zones
• Test and commissioning period is to be defined clearly in the insurance contract
• Due to higher exposure and live feed to the equipment the conditions have to pay credit to this changing environment
• Experienced contractor with good procedures in place combined with a policy wording based on risk sharing can mitigate the overall exposure

“ It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
Dave Allan Coe
“ If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it’s a failure.
Doug Coupland
