Video Tour of the Virgin Mary Statue on top of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center

November 11, 2011

It clearly shows the damage that the earthquake did to her as well as the necessary guy-wires to hold her down in case of aftershocks. Superior Scaffold had to transport all of the scaffolding materials through a maze in the hospital and even assemble most of the sections on a lower roof and then hoist them up where they could be put into place. You can see the difficulties in just getting to the statue...

Virgin Mary statue taken down for repairs

Superior’s Emergency scaffold service at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center – Camden, NJ

September 9, 2011

by Superior Scaffold

The earthquake did more than rattle buildings up and down the east coast. It also toppled figurines at churches in Washington DC, and damaged statues and monuments as well. One of them was the giant statue at the top of the Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ. Superior Scaffold was called because of our super fast response times (within 24 hours). We got the call and within 24 hours we had an emergency scaffold in place to start repairing the cracks in the statue. It's one of the services that we pride ourselves on. We have the fastest turn-around...
