Equipment Breakdown Insurance

• Policy form – coverage is provided through an endorsement which attaches to the Victor Builders Risk policy
• Policy period – identical to the Builders Risk policy
• Capacity – same full limit of insurance as for the Builders Risk policy
• Territory – projects in Canada only

• “Object” defined: The endorsement contains a complete definition of what electrical and mechanical equipment is insured
• “Accident” defined: The endorsement also contains a definition of what accident will trigger the policy
• Optional coverages for soft costs and delayed opening are available, but only if these same coverages, with the same limits, have also been purchased on the Builders Risk policy to which the Equipment Breakdown Insurance endorsement attaches

For the majority of projects, there are no extra submission requirements; only the information necessary to underwrite the Builders Risk policy is required.

However, a supplementary questionnaire is required for the following types of projects:

• Manufacturing/processing plants
• Sewage and water treatment plants
• Cold storage warehouses
• Power-generating plants
• Electric substations
• Other risks with processing equipment
