Ground improvement and geotechnical contractors perform some of the most technically complex work in construction. Projects involving micropiles, jet grouting, soil stabilization, and ground anchors introduce risks that many standard contractor insurance programs are not designed to address.
Companies performing subsurface construction often face exposures such as adjacent property damage, vibration claims, environmental risk from grout migration, and specialized drilling equipment exposures. Understanding these risks is critical when designing an insurance program that properly protects the contractor.
