- Welding and process piping
- Boiler inspection, installation and repair
- Machinery inspection, installation and repair
- Millwright work
- Field machining
- Turbine inspection, installation and repair

Coverage highlights and program advantages
- Multi-line solutions: placement options for GL, Pollution, Professional (E&O), Auto and Umbrella to provide coordinated coverage for complex industrial exposures.
- Access to several "A"-rated carriers through Sloan Mason’s wholesale broker facility, increasing chances of placement on difficult accounts.
- Underwriting tailored to specialty contractors working at operational heavy industrial sites—focus on controlled-site exposures, contractual liability, and pollution management.

- ACORDs by line of coverage requested
- Completed supplemental application(s)
Please view the Refinery, Chemical Plant and Power Generation Facility Contractors Data Sheet for the program supplemental application and data requirements.
Appetite and common declinations
Well suited: experienced specialty contractors and inspection/installation teams working under formal site safety and environmental controls, with documented safety programs and stable loss history.
Typically not a fit: contractors with uncontrolled or unresolved pollution exposures, contractors primarily performing large turnkey construction where the insured assumes general contractor responsibilities without adequate controls, or accounts with recent frequent large losses—such business may be referred for alternative market placement.
