Insurance & Risk Partners
Protecting, Assessing, and Restoring Assets with Confidence
When your clients face flood damage, erosion, impact, or structural failure, you need fast, accurate engineering insight you can trust.
At TILT Engineering & Design, we work with insurers, loss adjusters, and brokers to assess, protect, and reinstate high-value assets — helping you make informed decisions, reduce claim costs, and improve resilience for the future
Our Role in the Insurance Process
TILT bridges the gap between engineering and insurance.
We provide independent technical assessments, remedial design solutions, and pre-loss risk appraisals — ensuring every claim or renewal is supported by factual, expert evidence.
We help when:
A wall, pontoon, or quay has failed, and you need to confirm the cause and extent of damage.
You require an independent condition report before approving or renewing cover.
You want to prevent repeat losses through targeted mitigation design.
Your client is planning works that may affect their insured risk, such as a change of use, slipway, flood barrier, or river structure.
