Civil Engineering Insurance and Bonding

This guide is written for engineers to explain some of the basic principles and practices of civil engineering insurance. It concentrates on four main areas, namely the insurance of contract works during construction, public liability, employer's liability and professional indemnity insurance. Adequate insurance can be crucial to the successful completion of a contract and an engineer can be required to administer contract insurance clauses or give advice on them. This guide explains in practical terms: what the clauses are; why they appear; how liability and risk can arise; and what various policies cover. This new edition of "Civil engineering insurance and bonding" is a substantial revision of the original 1987 publication and now covers the insurance clauses of the "ICE Conditions of Contract: 6th edition", "The ICE Design and Construct Conditions of Contract", "The ICE Conditions of Contract for minor works: 2nd edition", and "The NEC 2nd edition".
