The experience of Technical Assessing extends to the assessment of major property damage and business interruption claims for the mining industry. The severe floods that decimated the central Queensland coalfields in January 2008 caused significant damage to open cut coalmines, heavy machinery and infrastructure. Technical Assessing was appointed by Underwriters to assess major property damage and business interruption claims arising from the event.

Technical Assessing has been appointed to a number of complex and unusual claims in the Antarctic region. One such incident arose from the spillage of diesel fuel into the perma-frost. The reinstatement of the perma-frost was problematic. Our adjuster drew on the expertise of scientists from around the world to develop an innovative rectification process involving the construction of a permeable barrier and the use of bio-remediation to decontaminate the perma-frost over time.

Construction sites can be hazardous and incidents involving fixed tower cranes and large mobile cranes are often the reason. Technical Assessing has been called on to deal with significant incidents when cranes have collapsed or tipped over. Apart from dealing with the claim for the damage to the crane, there can be significant third party damage and personal injury claims. Technical Assessing has also been heavily involved in the process of assisting Underwriters to recover substantial claim costs .
