Scaffolding walkway at Chestnut Hill Hospital in Philadelphia, PA

October 10, 2012

Here’s a nifty little job. Something you might not see everyday: An Interior Canopy. Now, you might be asking yourself, why would Superior Scaffold put something that is normally outside on the sidewalk, inside a hospital? It’s simple, really – Chestnut Hill Hospital needed to remain open for business while repair crews replaced the skylights in the entire lobby and vestibule. By putting what amounts to a canopy or sidewalk shed inside, doctors, patients, visitors and guests can all pass safely through the entrance while work continues overhead. It’s business as usual, as we say in the...

Chapel inside of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, Camden, NJ

by Superior Scaffold

Here is another unique scaffolding job. It just goes to show you that when you think you’ve seen it all - think again. Here is a chapel inside of a hospital, and not just any hospital, mind you. This is in the heart of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, Camden, New Jersey. And what makes this even cooler is that the altar literally sits directly below the statue of the blessed Mother. It’s 6 floors beneath the giant statue but it’s very close to being directly beneath her; pretty darn cool if you ask me. And you remember the Superior blog about saving...

Our Lady of Lourdes blessed morning photograph

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold estimator Pat McAndrew was at Our Lady of Lourdes medical center early last week and snapped this gem of the Mother Mary statue in her full glory. Yes, it's an iphone picture but you can clearly see that she's up and beaming once again. I particularly like the halo at the top. Pat was at the medical center for another scaffold install we are doing up "air" (as they say in Philly). I'll get you details on that just as soon as them become available. Until then - enjoy. You can read the original article about saving our Lady of Lourdes here: And...

Superior scaffolds St. Mary’s Ukranian Church, Mcadoo, PA

September 20, 2012

in News & Updates, System

by Superior Scaffold

When St. Mary’s Ukranian Church in Mcadoo, PA needed a scaffolding company to erect scaffold for painters to restore the exterior luster of their beloved church - they turned to Superior Scaffold. Our experience with historic buildings, churches and structures has made us the tri-state leader in the scaffolding industry. The contractor wanted a stair tower to access the scaffold and a nice sized storage deck. And to eliminate ascending the scaffolding from the ground each time, Superior constructed a special walkway across the roof. You will see the photos below but I think this Youtube video gives the best visual description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_a1wYxucO8 At...

Superior Scaffold uses unique earth anchors to hold canopy in place.

in News & Updates, System

by Superior Scaffold

So, not only did we help scaffold the building for the new support steel but we just installed the canopy at the entryway. In the background, you can see the 5 story steel structure where our scaffolding used to be. They are making great progress on the new addition at the Chester County Hospital, and we are grateful to be a part of such a unique project. (See the original blogpost here.) And speaking of unique, this was a very cool and innovative way to tie-down a canopy. It’s not something you see everyday. Normally, there are many places to tie-down...

Amazing uses for scaffolding. Calpine energy turbine repair.

September 12, 2012

in Frame, News & Updates, System

by Superior Scaffold

Every now and then, a really cool use for scaffolding comes across my desk, and this is one of those times. Maybe I’m just genuinely curious as to how stuff works but I thought I’d pass this along. This is the top of giant electric turbine at the Calpine Energy, Delta, PA power plant. The plant is a state-of-the-art, combined cycle, power generating plant powered mainly by natural gas. The plant consists of 8 electric generators – and these photos are of one of those turbines! Basically, these gigantic turbines spin around at amazing speed to produce electricity for cities and...

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold at Bachelors Barge Club (Est 1853), Philadelphia, PA. Bachelors boathouse #6, (built in 1893) is repairing part of the exterior of their house on Philadelphia’s historic Boathouse row. Superior provided canopy protection for the side of the building while erecting system scaffold above - so crews could get access to the spots that needed repairing without hindering daily operations. This is a unique opportunity to see a before and after view of the repair process. As you can see in the first series of photos taken by Superior estimator, Pat McAndrew, there are large cracks in the facade...
