Machina plant and equipment facility

Cover that keeps your construction projects moving

Plant and equipment are central to modern construction projects, with contractors managing increasingly complex and high-value assets across multiple sites and programmes.

Marsh Risk’s Machina plant and equipment facility is a specialist solution for UK contractors, designed to reflect these practical realities. It brings together Marsh’s market-leading policy wording, competitive pricing, a pre-agreed rating structure, and a dedicated claims approach through one insurer, Allianz.

Machina provides flexible cover for contractors’ plant and equipment, supporting both standalone placements and annual construction programmes. Capacity is tailored to the scale and scope of each placement.

Broad and flexible coverage

The facility is designed to accommodate a broad range of contractors’ plant and equipment, excluding underground machinery such as tunnel boring machines. It can support both individual placements and annual construction programmes across different sectors and project sizes.

Clear claims support and rewards

Machina includes a defined claims protocol to help provide a clear and coordinated response when losses occur. Contractors may also benefit from a low claims rebate, recognising effective risk management and positive claims performance, subject to the applicable terms.
