Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Corrosion Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

Insurance is crucial for corrosion consultants to protect themselves when advising construction firms, manufacturers, oil and gas companies, and more. Our public liability insurance protects you against claims if a client gets injured or their property becomes damaged while you work.

For example, you could be liable if a factory manager trips over your testing equipment during an on-site inspection.

Why Do Corrosion Consultants Need Insurance?

As a corrosion expert, your clients rely on your surveys, analysis and recommendations to prevent costly metal damage. However, mistakes can happen – without insurance, inaccurate advice leading to pipeline leaks, bridge collapses or plant shutdowns could leave you facing substantial negligence claims.

Our public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that your insurer will deal with any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your services.

What is Corrosion Consultant Insurance?

Corrosion consultant insurance provides vital protection to professionals who offer invaluable guidance empowering infrastructure longevity through materials selection, protective coatings specifications and solutions mitigating metal deterioration and corrosion damage.

As trusted advisors, corrosion specialists undertake assessments on structural vulnerabilities across domains, including:

  • Buildings and Monuments – Evaluating facades, fittings, exterior structures, and buried foundations, providing remediation plans to combat incremental decay from weather, pollution, and persistent moisture exposure.
  • Bridges and Transportation – Surveying girders, concrete pillars, cables, safety rails and road assets delivering analysis prioritising maintenance budgets towards inevitable but manageable erosion issues.
  • Pipelines and Petrochemical – Modeling transmission networks and refinery equipment lifecycles, benchmarking corrosion zones and fatigue wear rates to guide monitoring, prevention coats and grading asset conditions influencing renewal strategies.
  • Power Generation and Transmission – Estimating metal loss in boilers, turbines, reactors and grid delivery mechanisms flagging risks of declining efficiency, capacity losses or sudden failures from unchecked mass reduction.

However, flawed methodologies, oversight errors or inaccurate monitoring interpretations can lead to premature corrosion issues manifesting sooner than predicted – resulting in catastrophic infrastructure failure incidents causing substantial injury and environmental and financial loss claims.

FAQs

Corrosion Consultant Insurance FAQs

Corrosion consultants are vulnerable to professional indemnity, public liability and other claims because inaccurate advice can cause significant damage to structures and equipment. This results in substantial repair, replacement and loss of income costs for clients.

Comprehensive insurance is essential to cover resulting financial loss claims which could otherwise endanger livelihoods.

Some example losses we cover include:

  • Flawed coating specifications that cause pipeline corrosion and product leaks
  • Poor drainage advice that causes building reinforcement rust and dangerous instability
  • Unsuitable materials selection results in automotive part fractures and recalls

Our comprehensive policies protect against loss of income claims in scenarios like these across all common consulting areas.

We cover negligence claims stemming from all typical services like:

  • Materials testing and selection guidance
  • Corrosion monitoring and inspection
  • Protective coatings consulting
  • Cathodic protection system design
  • Corrosion failure analysis
  • Asset corrosion risk assessment
  • Corrosion awareness training

Essentially, most scenarios where inaccurate or flawed corrosion management recommendations and services result in substantial damage costs for asset owners.

Yes – our policies can extend to cover any temporary staff, freelancers or sub-contractors conducting corrosion consulting activities under your business name. For example, a coatings inspector you hire provides flawed reporting, leading to pipeline corrosion and leaks on a client’s premises. Our insurance helps shield your business from the significant resulting financial claim.

Absolutely. At Professional Saver, we can arrange tailored liability insurance packages for:

  • Pipeline engineers
  • NDT inspectors
  • Civil engineers
  • Structural surveyors
  • Failure analysts
  • Asset preservation specialists
  • Maintenance planners

We have experience handling policies across a wide spectrum of engineering, inspection and consultancy occupations.
