Liga Asuransi – Dear readers, how are you? Discussion about risk management and insurance for construction work is like an endless story. There are many risk factors that need to be considered so that the project runs smoothly.
One of them is the mobilization of all components needed by the project such as project materials, construction equipment, components, and workers.
As you may be aware that almost 75% of the project needs must be transported to the project site. And usually, the location of the project is a distant place and difficult to reach because there is no access road to the project location.
The farther the distance, the more difficult the location, and the larger the equipment transported, the higher the risk.
There are many risks that can occur during mobilization. Falling during loading to conveyances (ships, trucks, and trains), falling while on the way, burning, robbed, rioting, falling at the time of unloading on the project, and other risks. The losses incurred can be huge.
Therefore, it is necessary to carefully prepare for carrying out mobilization work. One way is to use the services of an experienced project logistic company.
As insurance brokers and consultants, we pay special attention to this. Because if it is not managed properly the risk becomes too high, and the insurance company may not be interested or even not willing to provide insurance coverage at all.
To find out more about risk management and insurance for project mobilization work, here we will write an article summarized from several sources. The links are at the bottom of this article.

As we all know that mobilization is the series of actions required to bring a contractors’ people, equipment, and materials to the worksite, and it requires a high-value contractor management activity.
Proper ‘mob-up’ is critical for both contractors and clients as it generally determines how quickly and how the Project logistics company can meet project objectives for safety, quality, and productivity.
Committing these critical steps to a measurable standard is also a project management best practice.
Many construction companies and building material manufacturers are not content with how equipment and materials are shipped to their warehouses, job sites, or laydown yards. Several factors have made the efficient movement of project materials more challenging than ever.
Finally, the logistical complexity of many projects can complicate communication among contractors, suppliers, and trucking companies. As a result, deliveries arrive late, deadlines are missed, and the profitability of a project is compromised.
Construction companies can tackle these challenges by having a carefully scripted construction logistics plan. In fact, a centralized, coordinated approach to transportation can contribute to the profitability of a construction project. Doing it right, a project logistics company requires a solid understanding of freight logistics and the unique, complex requirements of each construction project.
Here are project logistics company key elements of a construction logistics plan that can contribute to the success of project logistics company Jobsite.
Scheduling
A successful construction project relies on the timely delivery of materials and products to the worksite. Selecting the right carriers and communicating deadlines are only part of this process.
To ensure reliable transportation throughout a project, construction companies and manufacturers must understand logistics, oversee pre-planning, and remain in constant contact with carriers. Because contractors and manufacturers ultimately take the blame if orders are wrong or work is delayed, they need to have an active role in managing the movement of freight.
Risk Management
With more vehicles on roadways than ever before, safety is a top concern for trucking fleets, shippers, and industry regulators. A carrier that causes an accident on a Jobsite, or while hauling a product en route to a Jobsite, can lead to major legal ramifications for the shipper if that carrier is deemed unsafe.

- include:
- Handling of gases
- MGPS (medical gas pipeline systems)
