PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Global Engineering

Our role is to ensure that you have the best cover for any eventuality

With any project from the earliest design concepts, through to the construction process and throughout its life cycle, there are associated risks and potential liabilities that have to be addressed. You can transfer some of these risks and liabilities into various insurance products or contracts, whilst others you retain and manage with proper risk management techniques or otherwise outright avoid. Lockton’s Global Engineering practice have personally supported a wide range of power generation projects globally with an estimated 165,678 MW (both operational and construction).

Oil and Gas

With the large investment of capital, resource, time and knowhow undertaken in any energy-related construction project, it is important to understand all the key aspects of risk associated with these construction projects. The construction team is specialised in this sector, with vast experience from refining, petrochemical, LNG, LPG, GTL , pipelines, gas processing and Hydrogen .

With this specialist expertise, Lockton has provided clients with innovative solutions, designed specifically for the project. Due to the long-term nature of any project, it is important that strong partnerships are formed in order to share the common goals and to assist with a comprehensive risk review.
