Marsh Risk, a business of broker and risk advisor Marsh, has launched Nimbus Casualty, a dedicated insurance facility designed to provide excess general liability protection for digital infrastructure projects across the US during the construction phase.

Nimbus Casualty is structured to provide significant financial protection for developers, owners, and operators, offering up to $75 million in capacity, with a minimum attachment point of $25 million.

It is supported by a panel of A+ rated Lloyd’s and London insurers, ensuring high-quality capital for complex projects.

Leveraging Marsh Risk’s proprietary XSellence excess casualty form, Nimbus Casualty delivers follow-form coverage across a client’s excess casualty program, enhancing coverage certainty and streamlining claims negotiation.

The launch of Nimbus Casualty follows the recent expansion of Marsh Risk’s large-scale data centre construction insurance facility Nimbus, which offers up to $2.7 billion in limits of traditional construction all-risks, delay in start-up, property damage, and business interruption cover.

Commenting on the launch, Paul Woodward, Head of Casualty, Marsh Risk International Placement, said: “The US casualty market presents increasing complexity and challenges, especially for digital infrastructure clients managing large-scale, high-value projects with long-term liability exposures.

“With Nimbus Casualty, we combine Marsh Risk’s market-leading construction expertise with our market-leading excess casualty form to provide clients with the advice and coverage certainty they need to efficiently safeguard their digital infrastructure investments.”

Mike Mathews, Global Digital Infrastructure Leader, Marsh, added: “Marsh’s Digital Infrastructure team is dedicated to driving ongoing innovation that empowers digital infrastructure owners and operators to meet the evolving demands of technology and sustainability.

“By integrating expertise across capital management, construction, energy solutions, and risk resilience, we help our clients not only build more efficient and powerful facilities but also ensure their long-term operational success in a rapidly transforming digital economy.”
