Miscellaneous construction codes

This topic lists the miscellaneous construction codes supported by Touchstone.

Note:

While Coverage C (content) is not supported for most of the 200-series construction class codes, it is supported for Inland Transit (construction code 259) and for some other construction codes, such as tanks and pipelines. For the full list of supported combinations, refer to the Const. & Occ. Combin. tab in each model supplement.

Construction Code Category Description
250 Railway Property
Warning:

This code is not valid for any peril in the United States.

Railway properties are composed of major components of railway systems, which include railway stations, railway tunnels, railway bridges, railway tracks, and cables along the tracks but excluding trains.
251 Pumping Stations Structures with mechanical devices that are typically used when a fluid material must be raised from a low point to a point of higher elevation, or where the topography prevents downhill gravity flow
252 Compressor Stations Structures with mechanical devices that are used for increasing the pressure of a gas by mechanically decreasing its volume
253 Cranes Machines used for raising, shifting, and lowering heavy weights by means of a projecting swinging arm or by means of a hoisting apparatus supported on an overhead track
254 Conveyor Systems Devices used for moving loose material (typically on a belt, on rollers, or in an auger)
255 Canals An artificial waterway of any depth used for draining or irrigating land or for navigation
256 Earth Retaining Structures Earth retaining structures taller than 20 feet high
257 Waterfront Structures Wharves or docks built next to the shore of navigable waters so that ships can receive and discharge cargo and passengers, or walls of artificially enclosed basins into which vessels are brought for inspection and repair
258 Offshore Structures A structure that is anchored to the ground under the ocean
259 Transit Warehouse Often refers to distribution centers that temporarily store various commodities for further distribution, including wholesale stores. The commodities can be light (e.g., food, drug, light fabrication of clothing, high-technology electrical items) or heavy (e.g., heavy construction machineries). Warehouses are typically one-story steel frame or SRC (steel-reinforced concrete) construction with high ceilings. Most of the commodities are well packed and can be stacked during storage.
260 Marine Hull Marine hull insurance covers the hull and machinery of a vessel. Specific ports or docks include loading or unloading (port risk), under construction (builders' risk), and repair (repairing risk). When paired with a particular occupancy code, reflects the vulnerability of the hull:

  • 300—reflects the vulnerability of the hull in unknown conditions.

  • 314—reflects the vulnerability of the hull under repair.

  • 354—reflects the vulnerability of the hull at port.

  • 381—reflects the vulnerability of the hull under construction.
