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

June 16, 2014

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...

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...

Judging from the story and the new pics in todays Philadelphia Inquirer piece – the renovation of M. Night Shyamalan’s old house was a smashing success. Superior provided scaffolding support all around the house during the renovation and even tented the entire structure with an enclosure system. You can see all of the before pics in our blogpost here: http://scaffoldblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/superior-scaffold-helps-with-the-renovation-of-m-night-shyamalans-old-house/ To see what Superior Scaffold can do for you – don’t hesitate to call (215) 743-2200 today. #scaffold#scaffolding#rental#rent#superiorscaffold#restoration#inspection #contstruction#facade#masonry#canopy#protection#howto#erection#install #emergencyservices#masonry#suspendedscaffold#mastclimber#canopy#philly #philadelphia#pa#electrical#2157432200#pa#de#nj#ny#md#rents#sales #design#erection#dismantle#deliver#swingstaging#swings#stages#shoring #USA#nationwide#national...

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...

I wanted to do something a little different this time. Instead of showing tons of photos and detailing each project I thought I would let the video do the talking.

in News & Updates, System

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold doesn’t just install the safest, best looking canopies (overhead protection) in the city we also customize them to our customer’s needs. We can match the color and content of your brand to maximize exposure for your company. Case in point is the aluminum canopy we installed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, one of Philadelphia’s premiere hotels located at 10 Avenue Of The Arts, Philadelphia, PA 19102. The Ritz’s elegant brand needed to be conveyed all through their facade inspection and renovation process. (that can take up to two years). Who wants an eyesore in front of their business for that amount...

Scaffold solutions in tight spaces – Bryn Mawr Hospital mechanical room

April 18, 2014

in Safety, System

by Superior Scaffold

I wish that every job could be as expansive as Independence Hall, or Amtrak 30th St. Station or Citizens Bank Park / Philly Stadium but the reality is that a lot of the work we get is trying to come up with scaffolding solutions in very tight spaces. Our guys are some of the best at designing scaffold that will get crews access to just about any working space. The mechanical room at the Bryn Mawr hospital is a perfect example. There was virtually no room in there to get the scaffolding in - let alone set it up. Crews needed...

Shoring up Norristown, PA parking garage – concrete repair

April 11, 2014

in News & Updates, Shoring

by Superior Scaffold

Check out this cool shoring job at the Norristown, PA Main street parking garage in Montgomery County. The concrete beams were deteriorating and needed repair. Superior Scaffold was called in to shore up 5 floors of the garage so crews could remove and replace the bad sections of concrete. We shored up the supporting joists with our 2' X 5' Hi Load shoring frames so crews could work on the main cement beams. The challenge here was that the parking garage only had a clearance of 6 feet so our normal deliver trucks wouldn't fit. Crews had to unload the Hi-load...
