Structures are:
Commercial/Industrial Relocatable structures comprised of single or
multiple modules in single storey configurations. Structures are classified
under Group C (Residential) or Group D (Business & Personal Services).
Please refer to Appendix A, Division B of the National Building Code of
Canada for a full list of structures covered under the above occupancies.

Commercial/Industrial Structures under this scope typically include office
units, dormitories, or Industrial camps. This listing does not include
storage units, dinning trailers, apartment buildings, hotels, motels,
detention facilities, multi-residential dwelling units requiring separation,
and other type of buildings for use in hazardous locations.

Structural:
8’x20’, 8’x40’, 8×53’, 10’x20’ Steel Container Units.

Electrical System:
120/240V, 60Hz, 100A max.

Plumbing System:
Conventional drainage and vent systems to a maximum of 240 hydraulic
fixture units.

Heating / Ventilation:
Units may be equipped with central gas furnace and/or electric air
conditioning units.

Structures included in this listing are Relocatable Commercial/Industrial
Structures manufactured at a central facility, complete with electrical
wiring with optional plumbing systems, for installation or connection to
other modules in the field.
These structures, when completely assembled on site, are equipped with
normal facilities for connection to municipal water and electrical services.
QAI certification covers the construction of the structures and any factory
installed electrical, plumbing services, or gas systems and is intended to
obviate the necessity of further inspections by the local regulatory
authorities except for site connections to services or to other modules
and for site mounting features.
