CSA A277* Rated Factory Built Buildings - Structural / Building Envelope Aspects Only
The factory built structures are constructed at the Almac Metal Industries manufacturing facility located in Edmonton, Alberta and transported to the intended building site. When the structural components and the building envelope components (walls, floors, roofs, fenestrations, and doors) are completely assembled, the units are ready to be equipped on site with all normal facilities including plumbing and/or electrical services. The prefabricated structures are set onto the building's foundation and finished at the building site to conform to the type of occupancy and the local AHJ's requirements.
The certification covers the structural and building envelope components for in-factory built prefabricated buildings and partially or fully enclosed modules of buildings of any occupancy.
The Intertek mark warrants an approved in-factory certification procedure, applicable to prefabricated buildings 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 of all structural and building envelope components and intends to circumvent the necessity to inspect by local authorities the above mentioned aspects. The Intertek mark does not cover site connections to foundation, other not certified units, or site mounting features.
