Scaffolding Philadelphia Museum of Art – Ceiling from the Zhihua Temple

February 7, 2020

It’s not fancy but this 15’ high, frame scaffold, rolling tower with a stair tower access instead of the usual hook on ladder had to be erected with the utmost care. Our scaffold was erected to help get Chinese researchers and their equipment up to the top of this 500-year-old, hand carved ceiling that was originally installed over a Buddhist altar from the Ming dynasty. The crew is using special equipment to map out the entire structure, inch by inch. Once completed, they will take their photos, data, maps, and bring them back to China where they can analyze the construction and...

Superior Scaffold tackles difficult Christiana Hospital Expansion in Newark, DE

June 3, 2019

by superiorscaffold

Anyone who has been through an injury or watched a loved one struggle through a disease knows the incredible patience, love and support everyone must have. And this is especially true when trying to diagnose and treat someone. It takes patience as doctors experiment with treatments they have used in the past and patients see how their bodies react to those medications or modalities. Hospitals are an interesting mix of emotions for me. You see I’ve spent a fair amount of time in them. On one hand you have the very western medicine approach to saving, preserving, longing a life or...

Say Something. 1617 JFK Blvd., Canopy, Overhead protection around entire block!

Most of my posts are written and then I come up with the musical theme but this one was written the other way around. I heard the song and thought it was fantastic but when I saw the video it just moved me. It's one of the coolest combinations of film and music I've seen in a long time. (scroll to bottom) This is one beautiful job – you can’t deny. When you see it you just know it is quality, love, and beauty. Since this is a blog and the idea is to Say Something about the work we do and...

North by Northwest – Scaffolding at Park Towne Place, Philadelphia, PA

September 22, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Well, as we scour the city trying to bring you the greatest and most interesting feats of construction (using scaffolding of course) we find this. And I must say, just when I think I’ve seen it all something comes along to tickle my fancy, stimulate my brain and restore my faith in creative construction techniques.Today we find ourselves on the roof of one of Center City’s premier apartment complexes. Park Towne Place premier apartment homes in the parkway museum district. Yes, just a stone’s throw from where Rocky ran up the steps at the art museum. I’m feeling rather nostalgic...

Saint Mark’s Church, Philadelphia, Renovations & Scaffolding

April 21, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Saint Mark's Church, at 1625 Locust St., is undergoing some renovations and called Superior for the scaffold support and access it needed. The church was founded in 1847 and actually built between 1848 and 1849 and as an historic building needed the utmost care when completing said renovations. Superior Scaffold has a long history of exemplary work on historic buildings and structures in the tri-state area so they were the logical choice. These upgrades were being done in phases and Superior needed a way to get the many disciplines (roofers, masonry crews, windows, painters, and the like) to their destinations. An elaborate...

Overhead protection for John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls High School

February 19, 2015

by superiorscaffold

In honor of 40 years of SNL (Saturday Night Live) I thought I’d post some pics of our emergency services overhead protection job at Hallahan Catholic Girl’s School. Superior Scaffold was called in to provide overhead protection so crews could repair pieces of the façade that were falling off. If you look carefully, on this photo, you can see some of the damaged masonry work covered by blue plastic. Superior quickly erected this canopy to protect students and pedestrians coming in and around the school. Our emergency services line is open 24 hours a day and we specialize in getting crews out...

Overhead protection for an icon at 6th and Walnut, downtown Philly

January 8, 2015

Now, if you’ve ever owned a white car you know what a royal pain it is to keep clean in the winter. That white paint shows every piece of dust, dirt, and grime that you pick up driving around. So, imagine if you are a white building, built in 1913, 7 to 8 stories tall, smack dab in the middle of hustling, bustling Philadelphia. There are cars, buses, trucks, trains and pedestrians all kicking up dust around your base. And when the wind and rain kick up all of that debris floats upwards and sticks right to your sides. And just...

Shoring & Scaffolding at Forever 21

December 3, 2014

by superiorscaffold

An appropriate title for this post would be "Shoring Exposed" - because that's exactly what we are going to do here. It's not often that we get to show a complicated shoring job because they are usually buried deep in some dark nasty place but this one had just enough light to show the details. http://youtu.be/joLUcTWduUM There were 2 phases of this job - the shoring and the scaffolding. Let's start with the shoring first. Forever 21 is building out their new location on Chestnut street and decided to enlarge the entranceway and windows on the first few levels. Look at how their...
