Built on decades of sector-specific experience, Firedart combines deep technical underwriting expertise with a practical, hands on approach to risk.

Working primarily with professional insurance brokers and specialist intermediaries, Firedart Engineering Underwriting Managers offers comprehensive support across the policy lifecycle: from risk assessment and quotation to claims handling and ongoing policy management.

Specialties

Firedart Engineering Underwriting Managers focuses on specialist construction and engineering insurance that goes beyond general commercial cover. Their product suite addresses the full spectrum of engineering and project risk, including contract works, plant and equipment, machinery, electronic assets, and renewable energy installations. Each policy is built with the realities of site work in mind, helping protect both physical assets and business continuity. Core products include All Risk Insurance for Contractors, which is designed to keep construction projects on track when unforeseen events occur, and All Risk Insurance for Plant, which protects essential construction and earth-moving equipment against physical loss or damage. They also offer Commercial PV (solar) insurance for photovoltaic plants, Machinery Breakdown cover for static equipment, Electronic Equipment insurance for critical digital and technical assets, and Dismantling, Transit & Erection cover for plant and machinery at every stage of movement and installation. Complementing these is Works Damage insurance, which focuses on impact-related losses to plant, machinery, and goods in the course of manufacture. What sets Firedart apart in the Johannesburg and broader South African insurance market is their specialist engineering underwriting capability. Brokers benefit from access to experienced underwriters who can appraise complex risks, structure bespoke cover, and support claims with a network of loss adjustors. This specialist focus enables more accurate risk assessment, more relevant policy wording, and faster, fairer claims resolution for engineering-related losses.
