PAST PROJECTS

Real Stories from real clients on how our team has reduced their cost of risk and scale with confidence. 

NewCo Plant

The Bruner Team delivered a $400,000 savings and superior risk protection on a $100MM milk processing plant by designing a custom blended insurance program. Serving as risk consultant and broker, we integrated an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) with contractor coverage to ensure comprehensive protection and streamlined management. Our process involved thorough risk evaluation, cost comparisons, and collaboration with all major project stakeholders. The result: optimized insurance coverage, improved safety oversight, and ongoing support through construction and compliance.

Northwest Gas Processing

The Bruner team partnered with Idaho’s only natural gas processing plant to conduct a comprehensive risk evaluation and close critical coverage gaps. Operating in a highly regulated oil and gas environment, the client faced exposures including equipment breakdown and environmental liability. Our team conducted a full site visit—touring the gas plant, wells, gathering facilities, and pipeline to gain a first-hand understanding of operations and deliver tailored insurance and risk management solutions.

In addition to addressing operational risks, we worked closely with the insured to track and monitor their independent contractors’ insurance and compliance with Master Service Agreements (MSAs). This included engaging directly with contractors to assess their current insurance programs and advise on more effective, compliant approaches. By strengthening oversight and improving contractor alignment with MSA requirements, we helped reduce liability exposure and build a more resilient risk profile for the client’s operations.

Envirosafe Demil

The Bruner team partnered with Envirosafe Demil, an ammunition demilitarization facility, to develop a comprehensive insurance and risk management strategy for one of the most specialized operations in the country. We worked closely with the client to place property, liability, workers' compensation, pollution, and umbrella coverage. The property policy alone was marketed to over 100 carriers to identify the right fit. Working to balance the complex risk profile with cost-effective coverage. We also advised the use of a third-party inspection and loss control firm to proactively manage safety representation. An approach that resulted in a 20% reduction in property premiums. The client said, “ The Bruner Team is the only agency that’s been able to find suitable insurance coverage for our operations.”

As the insured prepares for a Phase 2 expansion, including hot testing of new systems, our team continues to provide guidance on the intricacies of project planning, builder’s risk, and setting appropriate policy limits. Our hands-on involvement positions Envirosafe for long-term insurance success as their operations evolve and scale.
