Fire Gest has handled countless CAR-EAR claims regarding construction sites of railways, highways, tunnels, buildings and technological systems. The case in the photo concerns a construction site of a large wind farm in Southern Italy that suffered serious damage due to a catastrophic atmospheric event. The event caused landslides which affected the foundation structures of the wind towers. The vastness of the area and the criticality of some situations created by landslides made the accident very interesting from a technical point of view. The intervention involved the analysis of the technical criticalities, the discussion and advice on the restoration works and their control, in addition to the estimate of the damages with the expert appointed by the insured. The claim initially valued at around 5M Euros was finally settled at 1.5M Euros.

Fire Gest manages Liability claims (professional, product and general). The case in the photo concerns the management of an international subrogation following a fire in a rolling mill within one of the major Italian steel mills (owned by foreigners) in Central Italy. The destructive fire was assessed in 13M Euros. Our investigations of the causes revealed defects in the design and installation of the automatic fire detection system, recently installed on the line, which had not intervened. On the basis of this analysis, we managed the compensation from the suppliers of the fire detection system who were insured by international policies (under Belgian jurisdiction), which led to the recovery of more than half of the damage suffered.

Fire Gest has handled many claims for serious damage following all the major catastrophic atmospheric and seismic events occurred in Italy in the last 30 years. The case in the photo concerns the damage suffered by the technical infrastructures (centrals, equipment, lines and terminations) of one of the major Italian telecommunication and energy supplier following the devastating earthquakes that hit Central Italy (Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Marche-Lazio). The extended damages throughout the territory, often in devastated areas, led to many checks and complex estimates for the reconstruction and reactivation of the lines, also regarding the emergency services and for the assistance camps. The estimated damages varied between 8-10M Euros each.

Fire Gest has developed a long experience in claims in the Energy industry (HV MV LV distribution networks, power plants, transformers, renewable energy plants, etc.). For many years we have handled claims for the major suppliers and distributors of electricity in the territory of Central Italy, both for machinery breakdowns and for damage from catastrophic events to plants and distribution networks. In particular, we have managed claims in the geothermal energy plants of the Tuscan district, unique in the world for the use of this renewable energy source. Recently we have managed many claims for damages in the construction or operation of renewable energy plants (wind farms, photovoltaic plants, biogas) of around 10M Euro in single value.
