NAESIP and Terradex Introduce Brownfield Loss Control Services
Owners and developers of brownfield properties need assurance that they will meet their obligations to maintain institutional and engineering controls (IC/ECs) over known contamination left in place. These “continuing obligations” often last in perpetuity. Terradex can provide that assurance. Our exclusive loss control services support NAESIP’s Site Pollution Liability (SPL) coverage for owners and developers of brownfield properties subject to IC/ECs. Combining Terradex loss control with NAESIP risk financing services can result in surprisingly low premiums by reducing the costs of underwriting and the likelihood of a claim.
Terradex embraces that the value of its LandWatch services as a loss control service for SPL coverage can be validated in the marketplace. The value can be measured in economic terms through premium reduction, or measured by additional comfort for sellers and buyers of brownfields as claim occurrence is reduced and compliance satisfied.

Terradex Loss Control Service.
Loss control limits the exposure to the insurance carrier and insured parties by controlling the occurrence of events that might result in a Site Pollution Liability (SPL) claim. Terradex loss control service bundled with SPL insurance can permit insurers to cover IC/EC liabilities, which are usually excluded from SPL policies. These controls are a common remedy component at a brownfield property.
Loss control services assists the insured to comply with continuing obligations associated with Superfund Limited Liability Protections (LLPs) and parallels state regulatory obligations associated with an IC or EC.
Terradex brings a loss control program to support SPL protections for brownfield properties. The core offering are applied as site conditions dictate.
- Land Activity Monitoring. Terradex spots future land activity events that may breach an IC or EC. Terradex continuously monitors incoming land-activity data from third party and government sources. Like a smoke alarm, Terradex alerts when prospective land activities exceed criteria set by the underwriter. Land activities monitored include excavation clearances for protecting ECs, or sensitive use licensing to maintain an IC.
- Affirmative Obligations. Terradex LandWatch organizes and alerts to pending affirmative obligations. LandWatch logs and documents as obligations are fulfilled. Terradex can manage one-time, recurring and contingent obligations. Terradex would not fulfill the obligation, but can alert various designated parties, as an obligation might not be completed as scheduled.

Terradex services are bundled with and procured through the NAESIP SPL offering. The Loss Control Service provides on-going loss control and claims prevention throughout the policy period. Inspection services can allow NAESIP to provide low premiums by reducing the costs of underwriting and on-going loss control eliminates to the extent possible the likelihood of an SPL claim.
