PE Sealing/Stamping of L&P Drawings
(OP)
Are ladder and platform (L&P) drawings required to be stamped or sealed by a professional engineer in the states of Indiana, Lousiana and Texas?
The L&P's are attached to a nonbuilding structure (ASME pressure vessel).

Let me rephrase the question. Are platforms attached to vessels considered "exempt structures" in the states of Indiana, Louisiana and Texas? None of the platforms exceed 250 sq. ft. Platforms are located at different elevatons and the highest platform is located at 220 ft. from grade. The platforms are for private use and are mostly used during plant maintenance or shutdown and occasionally used during plant operation. Platforms have been designed and calculated to meet safety (OSHA) and building codes (IBC & ASCE). The question now is whether the platform drawings need to be sealed or stamped by a professional structural engineer in the local jurisdiction
I'd appreciate very much if somebody could post the link to the local building authority in Indiana, Texas & Louisiana. One would have peace of mind if the drawings are sealed/stamped, but if it is not really required, why the hassle of doing it.
Thanks.

However - for your protection - you might want to get it done - regardless.
