Machinery Breakdown
Dedicated experts trained and qualified for claims of all sizes

Complex heavy equipment claims, along with costly repairs, can put the brakes on productivity. Whether it’s due to limited resources, insufficient coverage, or ill-equipped staff, poor estimates and appraisals can leave a dent in operations, resulting in policyholder frustration and lost revenue.

We have engineers skilled in interpreting engine damage, from small power units to gas turbines and from air-conditioning heat exchangers to refractory damage to heat exchange roll mills.
