Contamination work needs extra care with the pollution exclusion.\n\nSource: https://piinsurance.com.au/environmental-consultants/, fetched from the preview https://pi-react-4ee768.pages.dev/environmental-consultants/ on 10 Nov 2026; site dated 3 Nov 2026. Preview wording, not yet broker-reviewed. General information, not advice.\n\nSite label: Usually asked for in client contracts.\n\n## Why you need it: your clients\n\nDevelopers, councils and government clients ask for PI. Contamination work may need pollution cover too.\n\n## Typical limits\n\n$1m to $5m.\n\n## What can go wrong\n\nIllustrative scenarios, not real claims.\n\n### A site report that missed contamination\n\nYour report clears a site. Contamination is found during excavation and the developer claims clean-up and delay.\n\n### Noise readings that were wrong\n\nAn acoustic report understates traffic noise and the client has to add glazing.\n\n## Common exclusions to watch\n- Pollution, unless the policy adds it back\n- Asbestos\n- Work before the retroactive date\n\nWording differs between policies. Read the policy wording, or ask us to point out what it says.\n\n## Common questions\n\n### Do environmental consultants need professional indemnity insurance?\n\nDevelopers, councils and government clients ask for PI. Contamination work may need pollution cover too.\n\n### How much PI cover do environmental consultants need?\n\n$1m to $5m.","capturedAt":"2026-11-10T01:00:48.924Z","createdAt":"2026-11-10T01:00:48.925Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-10T01:00:48.925Z","spanId":null,"contributor":null,"audiences":[{"kind":"public","createdAt":"2026-11-10T01:23:48.625Z"}],"fingerprint":"12946638c21193a378eb81cce1eb252f039d3a1fde074ed9539962b6ab7abc66","revisionNo":"1","structureHash":"82286037218dd328825e583917e4d10ce39efc7297378c87ce23655f65003841","page":"https://lattris.com/by/2/memories/1f9e1cbd-c8c6-4f5e-b69f-6de3181e92d4"},"links":[{"direction":"out","verb":"references","reason":"Follow when the person's work is closer to the page for structural engineers, or they do both: its limits, examples and exclusions.","hash":"c7281672768b8cb6641f6bf41aeaf9fbcfddaf0bfe99c82cb1e8a9bb9e78458f","node":{"id":"0e46abd9-0261-4d4c-b7a0-0673689b4703","handle":"0e46","type":"note","title":"PI insurance for structural engineers (piinsurance.com.au/structural-engineers/)","aiSummary":null,"erased":false,"href":"https://lattris.com/api/lattris/by/2/memories/0e46abd9-0261-4d4c-b7a0-0673689b4703?links=1","fingerprint":"0d919ddcb82968476dcdd264dbf0eacecc8ab89c2e521bb2f8e9bc1a2cacc884","revisionNo":"1","structureHash":"c74934b194ef1f72b9ae6081ed2f1c4de3986594218f72a21205bd94ef19c492","intent":"learning","authorName":"PI Insurance","page":"https://lattris.com/by/2/memories/0e46abd9-0261-4d4c-b7a0-0673689b4703"}},{"direction":"out","verb":"references","reason":"Follow when the person's client has complained or threatened to sue.","hash":"4f1c602066a0bd02d4831ef15ec5e2a391ecec35a0e716139aafd65d3125476c","node":{"id":"336d6f2e-1926-4df6-9677-aba43b727b49","handle":"336d","type":"note","title":"A client is threatening to sue.
