Sealing of design by other specialized professional for proprietary... 4

[VYordan]

If one were to check all the computations and drawings pertaining to a structure -non building- which is a very specialized one and that the analysis and design is rather proprietary, how would one go about the sealing of the drawings as the engineer of record?

The designer and manufacturer is not locally based, but in Europe and they do not have a local license.

The drawings have been reviewed, questions and suggestions taken care of. Same as for computations. The designer and fabricator produces highly specialized and proprietary product, sold and installed all around the world.

So, if the above steps -checking, etc.- have been followed I do not see anything out of bound about sealing these as per the engineering code of ethics.

However, the other matter remaining is, would one seal the drawings maintaining the manufacturers and designers logos and seals in the drawings and computations besides one own.

I mean, that manufacturer must still have some responsability liability if something goes wrong beyond the local engineer's
control...

Thank you all.

Thanks to all. The superstucture itself is to be excluded from the work, I learned that. Only the foundation calcs are involved. They have been corroborated.

I hope you received something in writing from your governing jurisdiction. You cant plop a structure down on your foundation without a licensed engineer. If it were a HVAC unit that's a different story, but this is a structure in itself.
