Texas Borad PE Seal
Texas Borad PE Seal
(OP)
Hello All,
I work for an engineering company, and they do work for Oil and gas pipelines and Metering skids in Texas state, my supervisor said since we design and fabricate the Metering skid outside Texas, we don't need to stamp all these drawings and specification, my argument is these will be installed in Texas and will need to be stamped from a Texas PE.
Is these would be covered under "exempt from stamping" as it is under an engineering firm work on their premises?

Are you a design firm offering services, or are you a manufacturer of products? Or both? Exemptions typically apply to employees of companies doing work for internal use/consumption or for manufacturing. Texas has a particularly long list of exemptions, though, so you might find one that applies.

We part of engineering and operation service, we design, specify, and build pipeline metering skids which is installed on our product pipelines, and then handed it to operation team to maintain and operate.

There are utility-type exemptions- but be careful there, as some of those apply to the owner of the facility, but don't apply to consultants or contractors doing work for those owners.
There are manufacturing exemption, but if you're custom-engineering work for a particular site, I assume it wouldn't fall under that.
If the Department of Transportation or Railroad Commission or whoever are involved, make sure they don't have specific requirements on engineering licensing for work done on facilities under their oversight.
