Prior to joining Envista, Duan was a Project Controls Manager for Canada’s leading rail construction specialist, PNR Railworks, where he led teams of schedulers and project controllers across various large assignments.  He also has extensive forensic experience, handling projects in heavy engineering, oil and gas- both upstream and downstream, infrastructure, building and rail.

Course of Construction (COC) risks, such as fire, lightning, flood, explosion, wind or collapse, especially on large complex losses, can trigger an increase in labour and equipment requirements, re-sequencing of work, a loss of productivity, extension of time, and delayed start up (DSU). Factors affecting productivity include acceleration, schedule compression, trade stacking, logistics, site access, among numerous others.

The Envista Forensics Course of Construction claims team provides the forensic analysis and comprehensive assessment necessary to determine how much of the claim is legitimately and reasonably related to the insurable event versus potential contributing impacts predating the event.
