Launching Construction Rescue Insurance: Supporting the future of underground infrastructure
10/26/2026
Major tunnelling and underground infrastructure projects bring unique and complex risks, requiring specialist expertise and a coordinated response when things go wrong.
Munich Re Specialty has launched Construction Rescue Insurance, bringing together insurance expertise and operational response capabilities to support the construction industry and the increasingly complex environments in which major infrastructure projects are being delivered.
Bringing the industry together
To mark the launch of Construction Rescue Insurance, we brought together brokers, clients, engineers and industry professionals in London for an evening at The Lookout at 8 Bishopsgate.
Guests heard from Dan Rouse, Paul Latimer and Verena Schmitz, exploring the thinking behind Construction Rescue, the specialist expertise involved and the operational capabilities supporting the solution.
The evening was an opportunity to bring the industry together, introduce the new solution and start conversations around how the insurance market can support the challenges associated with major tunnelling and underground infrastructure projects.
The ambition for this new offering came directly from Munich Re Specialty's experience providing Contractors' All Risks and Erection All Risk solutions to some of the largest tunnelling and infrastructure projects in the world, to address risks that we are hearing from customers first hand.

Supporting major infrastructure projects
As underground infrastructure continues to develop around the world, the risks associated with delivering these projects continue to evolve too.
Construction Rescue has been developed to provide a specialist solution for this environment, combining Munich Re Specialty's insurance expertise with operational response capabilities.
By working closely with brokers, clients, engineers and specialist partners, our aim is to support organisations undertaking complex underground construction projects and help them prepare for situations where specialist intervention may be required.
