Penn Presbyterian Medical Center – New 178,000 square foot advanced care pavilion

July 9, 2014

Penn Medicine began construction on their new 178,000 square foot advanced care pavilion (Powelton Avenue and N. 38 Street) and called swing stage specialist Bob Sarkisian at Superior Scaffold to provide the suspended scaffold necessary to get the facade work done. It’s fun for me to see an illustration and then show some photos of what it looks like along the way. Check these out. Image Courtesy of Penn Presbyterian Medical Center This is an enormous job with many phases. We have had as many as 25 swings on and around the building (including inside the elevator shafts) at any one time. The new pavilion is...

Inside Out at the Kaiserman Jewish Community Center in Wynnewood, PA

June 25, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

I love it when I can detail a unique job and this was a perfect example. Superior Scaffold was called into the Kaiserman JCC to help shore up the ceiling joists so crews could repair the support brackets up against wall. There were a couple of challenges – the first being that the scissor lift had to get in behind the scaffolding so crews could get to the brackets for the repairs. Check out the picture and look to the bottom left – you will see the lift parked inside our scaffold. The second challenge was also the water – anytime you work...

SWING, SWING, SWING, at The Sterling House, 18th & JFK (pt. 3)

June 16, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

As Louis Prima once sang, “Swing, swing, swing” – oh wait, close… “Sing, Sing, Sing – (with a swing)” so we just added the W. Sounds better this way. But that’s just what Superior Scaffold did on the third phase of this project. (See part 1 – and part 2). The Sterling House Apartment Homes is a unique building at the corner of JFK blvd and 18th in downtown Philly. Superior had 2 36’ foot straight platforms on the front and sides of this building so crews could polish the metal on the facade. Very cool. Here you can see crews working directly...

The Sterling House (part 2) – “Can’t you hear me knocking?”

June 16, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

We showed you the brilliant landing platform on the 30th floor of the Sterling House Apartments (18th & JFK) in our previous blog. See it here: It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a crane landing platform? (part 1) and I promised to bring you the second part. So here it is… Overhead sidewalk protection all around this building. It's a multipurpose overhead protection system (as you will see in the following pics) not only did it have to provide protection for the pedestrians around this busy apartment building but it also had to provide support for our swing staging all...

A lot of the renovation work at The Sterling House Apartments (18th & JFK Blvd) is being done at the TOP of the building. Updating the fitness center with an additional 1500 square feet, new equipment, personal TV’s, and larger windows with fantastic views of the city. Adding a rooftop social deck with lounge seating, gas fireplace, and glass windscreens all around. They are also doing modifications to the rooftop pool itself. So, the million dollar question is: How do they get all of the necessary building material up to the top floor without disturbing the tenants or damaging the interior of the building? A BRILLIANT...
