Construction Today Magazine features Superior Scaffold and The Bellevue Hotel (the largest supported scaffold in Philly history)

September 29, 2025

What an awesome site! Not only was scaffolding The Historic Bellevue Hotel, for it's renovation, an incredible feat in itself, and something to see, but to have the GBCA's Construction Today Magazine write about it - is an honor as well. Armor Masonry's PR and Biz Dev badass, Melissa Wyatt, teamed up with Superior Scaffold's Head of Sales and Marketing to give readers a quick inside look at what went on with, arguably, the city's largest supported scaffold job. Click any of these pics here to be taken a version that you can actually see and read! Click this link to...

I posted this job to show just how creative Superior Scaffold erectors can get when erecting a system scaffold. This job was for EDA Contractors and we had to get their crew to the roofline of this building without touching the structure or damaging any of the landscaping. This shot sums up how awesome our scaffold erectors are! They had to do this all around the property to get the scaffold into just the right spot to keep building up to the roof. These photos were taken as the scaffold was going up. The finished product was decked in solid around the perimeter...

Suspended Scaffold and overhead protection all around 17th and Market!

September 23, 2025

by superiorscaffold

This is an impressive job! Not only from a scaffold or access point of view, but on every level. GC, Clemens Construction really did a great job at 17 Market West transforming this 18 story office tower into luxury units. Originally built in 1957, this complete interior/exterior conversion is a prime example of adaptive reuse, aligning with evolving market demands and sustainable construction practices. Superior Scaffold brought out an army of swing stages to help with the exterior renovation. A total of 14 suspended scaffold units around the building, all helping crews reskin the entire structure and reach areas for adding new steel,...

Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital Helipad Scaffold, shoring and badassery.

May 15, 2025

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was called in to build a one-of-kind super structure and all-around awesome cantilever scaffold at the helipad for the emergency department at Einstein Hospital. This baby was getting the complete makeover treatment from new undergarments, hair style and a set of fabulous new clothes so she could wow the world once again with her functional beauty. What that means is that Superior worked with Construction Manager, Target Building, to shore up the underside while they replaced and repaired the structural steel underneath and then put on a brand-new deck and coating system so this helipad functions as well as she...

Superior Scaffold’s debut at the Miller Theater – scaffold, swings, truss and overhead protection!

April 18, 2025

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was called in by GC, Clemens Construction, to provide overhead protection and suspended scaffold for the renovation of the Miller Theater, at 250 South Broad Street, within the Avenue of the Arts cultural district of Center City Philadelphia. The Miller Theater is the most prestigious location for touring Broadway shows, so the building needed to look as good as the entertainment it is putting on. Superior provided the swing stages (suspended scaffold) that crews used to reach every inch of the facade for cleaning, repairing, replacing and repointing. One of the biggest challenges was to span the iconic Miller Theater...

2 Scaffold Trolley systems at CHOP Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care

March 4, 2025

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold designed two scaffold trolley systems to help D.M. Sabia place giant stones on the side of the facade for the CHOP Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care. For this particular location, on Health Science Dr., it helped in the speedy, yet safe, movement of large stones up and over the garages in the back - from one end of the building to the other. Using a hoist to lift the stones up and scaffold beams to trolley the hoist, and the stone, down the line and into place, D.M. Sabia was able to save time and money positioning these...

Scaffolding St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Philadelphia, PA

by superiorscaffold

This one was hard to miss. If you are a regular in the Rittenhouse Square area – or were just passing through, St. Patrick’s Church has been a fixture here since 1839. And when one of Philadelphia’s most prestigious old buildings needed major renovation work – who do you think they called? Superior Scaffold was proud to have been chosen to provide the scaffolding and access work on this historic landmark. Our decades of experience working with delicate buildings for renovation companies made us the perfect choice when Turner Construction won the contract. This project involved a ton of moving parts, from...

The Sphere in Vegas & Dome Scaffold, Rooftop Fixeos & Canopy in Philly

June 25, 2024

by superiorscaffold

What’s Vegas got to do with this dome in Philadelphia, PA? Well, I’ll tell you. We went to Vegas for a Scaffold Builder’s Challenge and the only thing I wanted to see was the U2 show at the new venue – the Sphere! A 2.3 billion dollar, with a B, cinema/audio experience that’s supposed to be like nothing else. Unfortunately, U2 was off the week we were there so we just drove past it on one of our many lunch/client meetups. It was quite impressive with just the videos visible on the outside of the massive dome. I can only imagine...

Superior Scaffold takes the podium at World of Concrete (WOC) 2024 – SAIA’s Scaffold Builder’s Challenge

March 14, 2024

by superiorscaffold

Eight of the biggest, baddest scaffold companies in the United States entered the SAIA’s Scaffold Builder’s Challenge, at the 2024 Las Vegas World of Concrete, to vie for the title of best scaffold builder. Each company sent a team of four erectors and one captain to compete in a challenge that not only graded for speed but also safety and sound building practices. The challenge was held indoors this year, probably a good thing, because it rained for two solid days in Las Vegas! Yep. So much so that many people including myself had flight delays coming into the city. The...
