Comprehensive Insurance for Environmental Engineers, Consultants & Contractors
Environmental Underwriting Solutions offers a flexible, market-backed insurance program tailored for environmental engineers, consultants, and contractors. This specialized package combines multiple lines of coverage into a single solution designed to address the spectrum of environmental exposures—so you can place accounts with confidence whether the client is a small consulting firm or a large remediation contractor.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
The program targets a broad range of environmental service providers, including:
- Environmental consultants and engineers
- Site assessment and soil/groundwater remediation contractors
- Asbestos, lead, and mold abatement specialists
- UST/AST testing, removal and closure operations
- Hazardous materials transportation providers
Typical fits include firms performing site investigations, remediation contractors handling contaminated soils, and consultants preparing environmental impact assessments. The program is less likely to accept high-frequency pollution contractors with repeated large loss histories or heavy petrochemical refining operations—if you have a borderline risk, the underwriting team can discuss acceptable mitigations.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
The program offers a comprehensive package policy that can be tailored to the account and may include:
- Commercial General Liability (CGL)
- Contractor Pollution Liability (CPL)
- Professional Liability (E&O)
- Auto Liability
- Workers' Compensation
Available features and optional extensions include:
- Worldwide coverages
- Separate limits for defense costs
- Transit and non-owned disposal site coverage
- Media & technology coverage
- OCP policies packaged with other lines
- Railroad Protective Liability policies
- Mold coverage where appropriate
Limits are available up to $25,000,000 with deductible options that depend on the risk profile. That range makes the program suitable for small firms needing entry-level protection as well as larger operations requiring substantial limits.
