Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, has launched Nimbus, a new insurance facility tailored for large-scale data centre construction projects across the UK and Europe.
The facility provides up to €1bn in construction all-risks cover and €350m for delay in start-up, combining multiple protections into one streamlined product.
Nimbus is designed to simplify and enhance the insurance process for data centre construction.
The facility consolidates multiple cover types—including construction all-risks, delay in start-up, property damage, and business interruption—into a single streamlined solution. It offers up to €1bn in construction all-risks coverage, alongside up to €350m in delay in start-up protection.
The facility is backed by a panel of insurers from both Lloyd’s and company markets in London and Europe, providing clients with access to A-rated carriers and competitive terms. This enables more efficient risk management and faster project delivery for critical infrastructure builds.
Nimbus also ensures a smoother transition from construction to operational readiness, a critical factor for developers looking to maintain project timelines and budget control.
Additionally, Marsh recently launched its Data Centre Insurance and Risk Management Services, tailored to the unique operational and risk challenges faced by data centre operators. This end-to-end service supports clients throughout the entire data centre lifecycle, from construction through to ongoing operation.
Marsh UK CEO, Construction, Infrastructure & Surety, Kelly Looney, said, “Data centres are fast becoming the fourth utility and are the engine rooms of the global economy. Given the crucial role they now play in telecommunications, computer systems, and data storage, it is essential that their construction is completed on time and on budget. Marsh is committed to enabling the technology sector to meet growing demand for data centre infrastructure; Nimbus provides clients with project-specific coverage via a streamlined process that expedites the delivery of data centre construction projects and ensures a seamless transition to operational readiness.”
