Research on Risk Management in Urban Subway Construction Yanting Ma 1,a, Chunjie Ma 2,b 1,2Institute of civil engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China atina.margaret@163.com, b13905742430@139.com, Keywords: Subway construction, Risk Management, Risk Response Abstract.
The subway construction is different from general civil work, it is a system engineering set vehicles, electrical, civil engineering, equipment and computer as a whole.
Engineering insurance help the owner or the contractor to avoid losses due to the huge and uncertain risks, and restore the construction in time.
Meanwhile, engineering insurance can transform the uncertain loss caused by risks into a relative certain insurance expenses, also conducive to the financial accounting.
