We have a team of professionally qualified engineers in the fields of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering. They are well placed to understand the key engineering aspects of a risk by virtue of their industrial and insurance experience.

Establishing the root cause of losses on complex cases often warranted detailed analysis of the events. Crawford's engineers have much experience in this field and also make use of specialist consultants when necessary.

Ascertaining the extent of damage and scope of reinstatement work often required detailed discussions between engineers. Our department's engineering staffs are well-positioned to conduct this assessment.

The team has expertise in a wide range of plant and equipment covering:-

• All types of cranes
• Alternators and motors
• Transformers and switchgears
• Engines, pumps, compressors and fans
• Refrigeration
• Land reclamation plant
• Uninterruptible power supply systems
• Transmission linesŸ Water treatment
• Pressure vessels
• Construction equipment
