Case Studies

Over the last years, Architectural & Community Planning Inc. has completed numerous remote infrastructure projects.

The majority of these projects have been in cooperation with the Alberta based oilfield leasing company. The majority of all ACPI units are placed in northern Alberta, northern BC and western or southern Saskatchewan.

In addition, ACPI has independently developed projects with different client groups across Canada – virtually from coast to coast to coast.

The following six case study sheets highlight the diverse application potential of the pre-fabricated infrastructure technology.
