As lot of construction activity is taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The following information will be useful to the Principals, Contractors, sub-contractors and other interested parties.
In most of the Civil Engineering or Machinery Erection Projects the Project Management faces the problem of fixing the responsibility for insuring the risks to which the project is exposed and for administering the insurance policies. The Project Manager and the Risk Manager has to assess the risks they face in the Project and shall have to make a decicion on the extent of insurance covers needed. Even when the other parties are obliged to insure various risks relating to the Project ultimately the cost will have to be borne by the Employer directly or indirectly.
2. THE EMPLOYER'S RISKS:
2.1. The Employer has the highest stake in completing the Project and hence in its insurance covers.
2.2. In most of the cases, contracts can be better dealt with by the Employer assuming the responsibility for insurance. The Employer should foresee contingencies such as insolvency of the contractor, default by the Contractors, suspension/ termination of the Contractor replacing him with another Contractor etc while providing the insurance requirements.
2.3. The factors in favour of the Employer carrying the insurable risks are:
(a) The Employer has to pay the premium either directly or indirectly (costs built in the contract price). By combining the insurance requirements of various Contractors the volume of premium will be high enough to secure better insurance terms from the market.
(b) The Employers has the highest stake in completing the project since his investment is exposed to the perils
(c) The Contractors tend to cover their exposure only
(d) Cover can be continued with the Fire Insurers for the completed sections
(e) No gaps or grey areas as in the policies procured by the Contractors
(f) Employer is protected in case of insolvency or termination of the Contractor and apponintment of another to complete the contract
(g) Employer is protected against under-insurance if the insurances are properly arranged
(h) Employer's insurance can take care of common facilities and utilities which may be used by many contractors
(i) Employer can cover the risks of price escalation and replacement escalation where as the Contractors will be unwilling to cover such escalation in price
(j) Coordination and completion of restoration works following a major loss to works carried out by different contractors will be easy if the indemnity is provided by one insurer
(k) Following major losses it may not be possible to replace a machinery with another one of the same kind due to changes in technology. Employer's policy will be able to deal with the situation better in such a contingency
(l) Employer is familiar with the local law and the import and customs law. Hence he can arrange protection needed to meet their reqirement.
(m) If the Employer purchases the materials and supplies the same to the Contractor for Erection disputes may not arise between the Marine Insurer (of the Employer) and the Construction Risk Insurer as to when the damage occurred (when the materials are not checked as soon as they land or at the site) if both risks are covered by the same insurer
(n) Administration of the insurance function will be easier and less expensive if the Employer effects policies including the interest of the Contractors and manages the risk using one centralised office for the whole project. Coordination will be easier with this type of centralised administration. This will also avoid time and effort spent on actions for recovery by different Insurers insuring different interests of the same subject matter affected.
2.4. Even if the responsibility for managing the risks is passed on to the Contractors and the Employer is named as an insured, the Employer will continue to carry the following risks:
2.4.1. MATERIAL DAMAGE AND LIABILITY:
(a) Loss, damage or liability arising out of faulty design of the works by the Engineer

(d) Loss or damage arising out of riot, strike or civil commotion or disorder
(e) Loss or damage to the works or part of the works taken in to use or is occupied by the Employer
(f) Non disclosure or misdescription of any material fact affecting the risk or any material changes affecting the risk
(g) Loss or damage arising out of or aggrevated by wilful act or wilful negligence of the insured (Employer) or his responsible representative

(i) Loss or damge occuring after commencement of tests on the second hand machinery installed
2.4.2. MATERIAL DAMAGE SECTION:
In addition to the above risks mentioned in paragraph 2.4.1, the following risk are also to the account of the Employer even if the responsibility for insurance is passed on to the contractor:
(a) Financial, consequential and trade losses such as the loss of anticipated profits due to delayed completion of the project, additional capital to be invested due to escalationin the project cost, penalties, fines, failure to secure special priviledges from the authorities due to delays (eg. concessional customs duties available during a period), loss of the targeted market etc.
