You may have project specific rules or local jurisdictions that have stricter requirements. As of the writing of this article, there are no United States federal laws or codes that require a PE to stamp a lift plan. This is usually needed on critical or engineered lift plans rather than standard or non-standard lifts. When it comes to lift plans, a PE may be needed if your organization, contract, or local jurisdiction requires a PE stamp on a particular type of lift. To show that the PE has completed the work under their direction and expertise, they apply their PE stamp to project documents to seal them.
Most of the items discussed here relate to lifting operations in the United States, please check your local jurisdictions for more information.Ī Professional Engineer (PE) is someone whose has been licensed by a state board to practice engineering in a particular state.
