CSA A277* Rated Factory Built Buildings
The factory built units are constructed at the Horizon North Logistics Inc. manufacturing facility located in Grande Prairie, Alberta and transported to the intended building site. When completely assembled, the units are equipped with all normal facilities to connect to municipal plumbing and electrical services. The prefabricated units constructed in one (or more) sections, are set onto the building's foundation and joined together at the building site.
The certification covers in-factory built prefabricated buildings, and partially or fully enclosed modules for buildings of any occupancy.
The Intertek mark warrants an approved in-factory certification procedure, applicable to prefabricated buildings, modules, and manufactured homes that complement the required on-site inspection and testing. Intertek mark also assures the proper fabrication at the plant and adherence to all necessary local codes including structural, plumbing, gas, heating and electrical services and intends to circumvent the necessity to inspect by local authorities the above mentioned services. The Intertek mark does not cover site connections to municipal services, other not certified units, or site mounting features.
CSA A277* Rated Factory Built Buildings - Relocatable Industrial Accomodation, Alberta Building Code
The factory built transportable modules specifically designed to be readily relocatable and usable without permanent foundations, are constructed at the Horizon North Logistics Inc. manufacturing facility in Grande Prairie, Alberta, and transported to the intended site.
When completely assembled the units provide accommodation for an industrial work force living and working in a temporary location, and meet the requirements of Alberta Building Code Division B Part 10 Relocatable Industrial Accommodation.
The units are constructed in one (or more) sections, which are connected at the building site. 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:
- Vehicular lighting or brake wiring systems;
- Verifications of Fire Alarm System, Sprinkler System and Fire Suppression 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 mark warrants an approved in-factory certification procedure applicable to relocatable factory built Commercial/Industrial structures. Intertek mark also assures the proper fabrication at the plant and adherence to all necessary local codes including structural, plumbing, gas, and electrical services and intends to circumvent the necessity to inspect, by local authorities, the above mentioned services. The Intertek mark does not cover site connections to municipal services, other not certified units, or site mounting features.
