French term (edited):
une réalisation exemplaire
Selected
one existing/already built example of the type
"A chaque entrée d'un poste, une loge pour les gardiens sera construite. Une réalisation exemplaire se trouve au poste "Yopougon II" à Abidjan."
"... One existing/already built example of the type (i.e. this type of guardian's lodge) can be found/seen at ..."
i.e. you have one real-life sample of how this type of guardian's lodges looks like in Abidjan's transformer station "Yopougon II"; this ST is presumably meant for people living in Abidjan who can go and see it for themselves.
"poste Yopougon II à Abidjan" is a functioning installation, not a prototype or "show model":
“Vu l’ampleur des travaux à réaliser, la reprise de l’alimentation des clients coupés devrait se faire de façon progressive à partir du vendredi 26 mars 2010(ndlr, hier) dans la soirée». Ces propos ont été tenus, hier, à Yopougon, par Mathias Kouassi, Secrétaire général de la CIE (Compagnie Ivoirienne d’Electricité) au sein du poste de tension abritant le transformateur qui a cramé. En effet, l’incident survenu au poste de Yopougon, jeudi dernier à 19h18, a entraîné une explosion suivie d’un incendie du transformateur du poste 90/15 kv N°2.

Hello,
This is what all these "loges" will be built according to, I believe.
I hope this helps.

prototype ; excellent example of
The French "exemplaire" can be read in a number of ways. In the context provided, it could make sense to read it as meaning a "prototype", "example" etc. However, it might also be being used here to say that the "loge" referred to is "excellent" (in quality, in terms of design, conception, whatever).
More context needed.

For this suggestion, I had consulted an online dictionary with synonyms in order to come up with a couple of nuanced meanings. I may be right, I may be wrong; it may be more nuanced than that! However, as indicated by my confidence level, this is NOT guesswork. Had that been the case, I would have said so!

Daryo, thank you for the overly well disguised compliment. There is NO guesswork here : this is a serious suggestion posted with a view to assisting the Asker.

I think we would just say “example” here. You could be more explicit by adding “for reference” or something similar but that seems redundant to me.
Something went wrong...
