Transportation Engineers

Full List of Engineering Services

Transportation engineering involves the planning and design of large-scale transit systems, including highways, railways, and airports. Due to the high cost of infrastructure and the scale of public use, Transportation Engineering insurance is designed to address the professional and contractual risks inherent in multi-modal transit projects, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of the policy issued.

1. Professional Liability & Infrastructure Design

Coverage is structured to address claims arising from alleged errors in pavement design, bridge engineering, or rail alignment that result in premature wear, structural failure, or safety hazards for the traveling public.

2. Large-Scale Project Delay Risk

Infrastructure projects often involve complex schedules and multiple funding sources. Policies may address liability stemming from alleged professional negligence that leads to construction delays, cost overruns, or the loss of federal or state grants.

3. General Liability & Field Inspections

Transportation engineers frequently conduct site visits on active highways or near high-speed rail lines. General Liability provides protection for third-party bodily injury or property damage occurring during these high-risk site observations and data collection efforts.

4. Public-Private Partnership (P3) Considerations

Many transportation projects are structured as P3s, which carry unique risk-sharing requirements. Coverage placement considers these complex contractual obligations, including high aggregate limits and specific indemnity language required by government partners.
