Concrete Contractors

Full List of Construction & Contracting Services

Concrete contractors perform foundational work that is literally the "backbone" of any structure. Because concrete work is permanent, heavy, and highly sensitive to environmental conditions, Concrete Contractor insurance is designed to address the catastrophic risks of structural failure, site accidents, and long-term durability issues, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of the policy issued.

1. General Liability & Structural Integrity

Coverage is structured to address claims arising from defects in the concrete pour, such as improper rebar placement or incorrect PSI strength, which could lead to foundation failure or structural collapse. This also includes "Completed Operations" coverage for cracks or settling that manifest years after the project is finished.

2. Formwork & Shoring Failure

During the curing process, concrete relies on temporary forms and shoring. Policies provide protection if a form collapses during a pour, leading to massive property damage, bodily injury to workers, or the total loss of the wet concrete and surrounding materials.

3. Concrete Pumping & Equipment Liability

Operating heavy machinery like boom pumps and mixers presents a significant third-party liability risk. This addresses incidents where a pump boom strikes a power line, a mixer overturns, or a hose rupture causes property damage or injury to bystanders.

4. Environmental & Washout Liability

Concrete "washout" (the water used to clean mixers and tools) is highly alkaline and toxic to the environment. Pollution liability is essential to cover the costs of soil or water contamination and the resulting fines if washout water is not properly contained and disposed of on-site.
