Hanging bridge platform, Smedley Park trestle, Springfield, PA

May 19, 2017

by superiorscaffold

SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) wanted to paint the structural steel beams and panels on the trestle that carries the trolley over Crum Creek at Smedely Park in Springfield, PA. Painters were only able to reach a portion of the exterior using a high-reach so they called Superior Scaffold to install a hanging bridge platform to give crews complete access to the exterior and interior of the trestle. Superior’s crew clamped spreaders onto the flange of the steel beams on the trestle and then hung trees from them and then decked it in using steel plank. I love these kinds of jobs! ...

Pulling back the curtain for opening night. Restoring the Forrest Theater.

March 15, 2017

by superiorscaffold

The Forrest Theater is a beautiful, classic, playhouse built in 1928 and located at 1114 Walnut Street in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built at a cost of $2,000,000 it was one of architect Herbert J. Krapps more elaborate theaters. The interior is intricately decorated with gilt detailing (silver gilded with gold) and silk fabrics. And that’s exactly why Superior Scaffold was brought in. We provided the painting and restoration crews access to the entire perimeter of the theater, including the walls, ceiling and all surfaces, so they could restore it to it's former glory.

Reading Terminal Market, Giant Work Platform and Overhead Protection System, Philadelphia, PA

February 24, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold installed a 580 foot long work deck or platform on both sides of the barrel shaped Reading Terminal Market (RTM) to give crews access to replace the roof. The platform is 6 feet wide by 8 feet high by 580 feet long and allows crews to roll their equipment and material from the mast climber at one end to their location anywhere along building. Reading Terminal Market is a sprawling, somewhat chaotic, indoor farmer’s market and food haven where over 100 merchants offer culinary treats, fresh produce and unique merchandise. It occupies an old train shed that was built in 1893 and is located at...

Scaffolding at Bryn Mawr College, M. Carey Thomas Library

February 1, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was called upon once again to Bryn Mawr College. This time we are providing restoration crews access to the facade of the venerable M. Carey Thomas Library. Known as The Thomas Great Hall, this beautiful building has been designated a National Historic Landmark and has been one of Bryn Mawr College’s most important spaces since it opened in 1902. It’s a monument to the second president of the college. Superior Scaffold prides itself on being the best in the business when it comes to erecting scaffolding in and around historic structures without leaving a trace - and we did just that. This may...

A house of many colors… Declaration (Graff) House, Jefferson House Scaffolding

January 11, 2017

by superiorscaffold

This is the house where Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, that all important document that would birth a nation. Jefferson rented several rooms at the home of Jacob Graff, Jr, a local bricklayer - thus, the one of many names for this house. And what’s crazy is that it’s a reproduction! The original structure was built in 1775 and then torn down at some point. This red-brick house at Seventh and Market streets was reconstructed in 1975. Superior Scaffold was called in to provide scaffold support and overhead protection so crews could repaint and repair all of the woodwork...

4601 Market Street (Phase 2 – Scaffolding) Access

December 7, 2016

by superiorscaffold

We are back for phase two of the renovation process. This time around we are providing restoration crews access to the top portion of the building, including the 7 foot long wind vane ship. Yes, incredibly, that IS a giant wind vane. I wish I could have gotten a close up shot of that old ship but as you can see the scaffold crew was just erecting the base portion when I got there. Look at the corrosion that has built up over the years on the dome and the ship. Those will be brought back to their former glory. We’ve blogged...

Chasing Steam. Somewhere in Philadelphia…

November 30, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Here’s the skinny. And I do mean “skinny” on this job, people. You’d have to be the size of our marketing director to squeeze into this steam tunnel buried somewhere under the city of brotherly love. This utility tunnel, corridor or utilidor delivers steam to customers all around the city. Just like most things, me included, they need repair over time. It seems there were some leaks and actual damage to the cement above that needed to be fixed. So the call went out to the skinny guys at Superior Scaffold to give them access along two sections. The first section...
