Engineering Insurance

Akopọ

Behind every factory, every high rise going up in Lagos and every power station humming in the background sits a class of cover most people never notice: engineering insurance. It is what pays when a steam boiler bursts, when a generator seizes, or when a half built bridge is swept away in a flood. Ordinary fire and burglary policies deliberately leave these risks out, so a whole family of engineering policies grew up to fill the gap.

In this lesson you will meet the main types: boiler and pressure plant, machinery breakdown, contractors' all risks and erection all risks. You will learn exactly what each one covers, why an inspection engineer keeps calling on the insured, who actually buys these policies, and how to work an engineering claim through average and an excess. Master it and you hold marks that many candidates simply leave on the table.

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

A palm oil mill outside Aba runs a steam boiler day and night. One morning the boiler bursts, wrecking the plant and stopping production for weeks. The owner reaches for his fire policy and is told, politely, that it does not respond: a standard fire policy pays for fire, and the bursting of a boiler by its own steam pressure is a different peril that fire cover specifically excludes. What he needed was an engineering policy. Engineering insurance is the branch built for machines and construction, the risks that fire and burglary cover leave untouched, and it is examined in WAEC as one of the non-life products every candidate must be able to name and explain.
