PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CSA A277* Factory Built Commercial/Industrial Buildings
The manufactured units are constructed at the Intermountain Electronics Inc. facility and transported to the final destination for installation. When completely assembled the units are equipped with all required facilities to connect to municipal gas and electrical services. The units may be constructed in one (or more) sections, which are connected at the building site.
The factory built transportable modules specifically designed to be readily relocatable and usable without permanent foundations, are constructed at the Intermountain Electronics Inc. manufacturing facility and transported to the building site on steel carriers, which may be removed when the unit is set on a permanent foundation.
The units are used as field offices, construction camp facilities, shops used in conjunction with industrial construction, mobile equipment and other temporary commercial or industrial buildings. When welded steel structures form part of the structure of these units, the manufacturer will be required to obtain Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) certification to the requirements of CSA W47.1 standard.
This certification program does not include:
-
Modular or manufactured mobile units;
-
Vehicular lighting or brake wiring systems;
-
Verifications of Fire Alarm System, Sprinkler System and Fire Suppression Systems;
-
Validation and balancing of heating, air-conditioning & ventilation systems and plumbing systems, including potable water systems;
-
The 6 or l2V battery operated system for clearance lights etc. which is entirely separate from the l20V system (under the jurisdiction of the Departments of Highways of the various Provinces)
The Intertek WHI mark warrants the proper installation at the plant and adherence to necessary local codes of all structural, plumbing, gas, heating and electrical services and intends to circumvent the necessity to inspect, by local authorities, the above-mentioned services. The WHI mark does not cover site connections to municipal services, other modules or site mounting features.
