The risk in focus
Telecommunications contractors can combine electrical, cabling, civil, tower, rooftop, underground and technology exposures within one contracting business.
A clear split between cabling, civil, tower, rooftop, underground, installation and design activities helps insurers understand the exposure.
Activities we can consider
Fibre and communications cabling, network installation, tower and antenna work, rooftop installations, underground services, pits and conduits, data and communications equipment installation, maintenance and related civil works.
Covers to discuss
Public and products liability, contract works, plant and equipment and professional indemnity may be relevant. Technology or cyber-related exposures may require separate consideration where the business provides technology services beyond physical contracting.
Telecommunications exposures
Underwriters may assess maximum height, tower work, rooftop access, underground services, excavation, electrical work, work near operational networks, property being worked on, subcontractors, design responsibility and contractual requirements.
Information to prepare
Provide activity and turnover splits, maximum height, underground-work percentage, network owners or principal types, project values, plant, subcontractors, design activities, required liability limits, current insurance and claims history.
