Multiple canopies at The Gallery Mall redevelopment, now known as the Fashion District Philadelphia

January 10, 2018

Hailed as the epicenter of Center City’s revival back in 1977, The Gallery Mall is finally getting its recognition as the preeminent shopping experience in downtown Philadelphia. It opened to the tune of $105 million; big bucks back in the day. But forty years has gone by and with it so has the sheen and promises on this old structure. Jump forward to right now as three city blocks and roughly 1,000,000 square feet of redevelopment are occurring. And when it’s all said and done it will be the largest retail repositioning project in the region. Once called The Gallery Mall, developers...

Names can be deceiving. Canopy at Tattooed Mom on South Street

December 20, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Hey, I thought awesome here’s a post for all the Moms I know who are just dying to get tattoos for Christmas. ;) But I was in for a little surprise when I started digging. Seems it's not a tattoo parlor at all but one of Philly’s most instagrammed eating, drinking and gathering places. In terms of followers it's right up there with South Street’s Magic Gardens, the largest work from local mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. Sorry all of you Moms who wanted Christmas ink but there are places down the street. All we knew was that we had to help...

“I feel pretty…oh so pretty”

December 5, 2017

by superiorscaffold

“We may lose and we may win but we will never be here again. So open up I’m climbing in to take it easy.” “Dreamer I know what you're thinkin'.” “Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me. Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee.” I’m just going to mix a whole bunch of musical lyrics today and why? Well, I’m in a good mood and it's always fun to see if you know the songs where they came from. Life is short people. It really is. So love your kids and your family and be sure to tell them. Remember to say hello to everyone. ...

Let the Pictures do the talking! Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital Expansion/Addition

October 25, 2017

by superiorscaffold

5 stories of system scaffold. Odd shapes and customized layouts on every elevation. Giant dance floor at the top. One incredible job! With some jobs it’s better just to let the pictures do the talking and this is certainly one of them! [ngg_images source="galleries" container_ids="62" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow" gallery_width="800" gallery_height="700" cycle_effect="fade" cycle_interval="5" show_thumbnail_link="0" thumbnail_link_text="Show thumbnails" order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500"] Superior Scaffold provided the scaffolding for the new 22,000 square-foot atrium/lobby as part of the hospital’s expansion/addition at the Cherry Hill campus.

Down by the Riverside

October 3, 2017

by superiorscaffold

It’s always nice to be a part of a revitalization project, especially one that propels the westward expansion of Center City along the Schuylkill River. Superior Scaffold was called in to provide sidewalk overhead protection for the Locust on the Park luxury loft-style apartments, retail and office space. This once abandoned publishing plant that was previously home to the Lanston Monotype Company and then the National Publishing Company is being transformed into an artful mix of original architecture and modern finishes that will house 152 apartments. Superior provided 5 canopies around the building. (One large canopy up front 2 small and 2 large...

Construction Today Magazine publishes article by Superior Scaffold

September 22, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Shawn MacDonald, Superior’s Safety & Training Manager, points out that many companies that rent scaffolding are unknowingly violating OSHA regulations. He addresses the elephant in the room and offers a tremendous solution to all safety directors in the area. Read the article and learn why you must have a competent person inspect your scaffolding prior to each work shift. It’s an informative and entertaining read. Let’s just hope that being a published author doesn’t go to his head. A shout out to Lauren and the people at the GBCA for all of the great work they do! If you would like Competent Person...

September 7, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Back to school and back to winning championships! It was the Wildcat men’s basketball program that got most of the glory for winning the 2016 NCAA Championship but this time it’s the three-peat BIG EAST champion Wildcat women who are looking for their fourth consecutive swimming and diving championship in 2017. That’s quite a feat! Coach Rick Simpson and his team deserve a hand! And Superior Scaffold wanted to do its part to lend a hand. We were called in to provide access to the cieling of the swimming arena so new mechanicals and HVAC could be installed. We erected three...

Je suis tombé amoureux de Montréal – Or Just Send Cash! SAIA Annual Convention & Exposition

August 23, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Or as the French say, coup de foudre, roughly translated to thunderbolt or it unexpectedly and suddenly seduced you – or me in this case. I fell in love with this city. There was something about it that I’m sure the locals can verbalize better than I. Montreal has an old world feel mixed with a modern charm and French accents. Who could want more? Did I mention those accents? Is it just me or were they out of this world? (just listen to the music cuts at the end to see what I mean). Okay, maybe I’m biased about this particular...

Or head into Polar Bear Pavilion designed specifically for little snow tots Inside, kids can sled down a smaller version of the large ramp, make snow castles and play in the snow. Which ever area you choose to visit it’s all about having fun in the heat this summer and learning about the connection...
