Double Wide, frame vs. system scaffold – when to use

March 6, 2014

At first glance, what do you see? A double-wide canopy spanning the entire sidewalk? If you did - you would be correct but there is more to it than meets the eye. You don't think we would just toss up a double wide sidewalk shed using our famous 767-00 "Philly" frames would you? Of course not. What you have to remember is that this a large span we have to cover so the facade resoration can go on overhead. And there are certain regulations that are mandated by our state as to the amount of weight this canonpy must support. In...

Superior Scaffold ramps up for Toyota at the Philly Auto Show

February 7, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

Toyota set up an indoor track complete with traction ramps, water hazards, sand traps and suspension bumps giving the user the ultimate car buying experience. Patrons are invited to ride along inside the new line up of Toyota vehicles to get a real world idea of how they will perform. Toyota contacted Superior Scaffold to build the ramp that would test the climbing and traction control of their vehicles. We jumped at the chance. The ramp is 8’ high by 14’ wide and 53’ long. ...

Scaffolding support for facade and masonry restoration @ First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA

January 21, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold is proud to be working on the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Philadelphia. We are providing scaffolding support for a complete facade and masonry restoration on this church constructed after the civil war. Superior was called in because of our experience working with historic buildings, especially ones that might have delicate or sensitive objects. This particular church was no different - they have one of the most extensive stainded glass window collections on the east coast. See it here. The First Presbyterian Church also has some beautiful artifacts and spires at the top of their steeples that required a special touch. We...

Superior Scaffold Sidewalk Shed: The key to commerce.

January 10, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

To some this might seem a bit commonplace, since you see them everywhere, but to us it’s the key to commerce. These canopies are what keep industry rolling. Just think about it for a minute. If we didn’t construct these sidewalk sheds around buildings that were doing façade work or window replacement or brick and mortar repointing, everything would shut down. No food for the tenants, no around the corner morning coffees, no treats or ice cream – nothing. These are our very own little stimulus package. Many times, just like with this canopy, it serves a dual purpose; one, keeping...

Nothing’s easy – The Road from Israel to South St. Philly for the famous LOD Mosaic

February 19, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

On January 26th, Superior Scaffold was proud to help bring to the East Coast one of the most incredible Roman Mosaics ever unearthed. The challenge to get them inside the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology was something of an engineering marvel taking scaffolding teams, crane operators, art curators, engineers, and scores of people. But first… A real-life “Cover up”. In 1996, workmen constructing a new highway in Lod, Israel (near modern-day Tel Aviv), made a shocking discovery: a 1,700 year old Roman mosaic under the surface of the road. At that time, the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted a rescue...

Creative Scaffolding Solutions at Eisenhower Middle School, Norristown, PA

December 3, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

We get this call quite a bit. And even though it’s a smaller job, we wanted to show you what can be done when there doesn’t not seem to be an easy solution. The good people at Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy were installing a new HVAC unit and couldn’t figure out how to make the tie-in at the top safely using their ladders and scissor lifts, so they called Superior Scaffold. Superior estimator and creative guru, Pat McAndrew, quickly devised a solution that put system scaffolding on either side of the unit and then added an access ladder and 2...
