An article by Superior Scaffold is featured in Construction Today Magazine!

February 10, 2016

It's official. Someone's ego is sufficiently inflated. It seems that our very own marketing director has been moonlighting for the GBCA (General Building Contractors Association). The latest issue features an article written by him - no pen name, no alias, no nom de plume to hide his identity just 3 big pages of well written prose and nifty photos crafted around the concept of "Like a Thief in the Night."The article details just how a scaffolding company (Superior Scaffold) goes about working on historic structures, erecting thousands of pounds of aluminum and steel without damaging the existing facade or outlying...

Scaffolding the massive front desk at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City

December 11, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was proud to take part in the renovation of the 50 foot long front desk at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. It was a great opportunity to provide a unique scaffolding platform for a renowned California artist to complete his work. It's all part of the casinos $13 million revitalization.The artist, who will remain anonymous, was installing a series of delicate glass pieces behind the new front desk and we had to provide enough of a working platform to get the job done. This job was done in two phases – this is the...

The art of scaffolding at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA)

October 22, 2015

by superiorscaffold

What a great looking building this is, smack dab in the middle of downtown. This is the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. It’s a historic Victorian museum and Art school (offering 19th & 20th century American works). I would have loved to enter that place everyday to learn. Incidentally, it’s the first and oldest art museum and school in the United States.I’m going to put a link to some pics from their website to show you just how cool the structure is beneath our scaffolding. Check out the giant paintbrush just to the right. I love it.Okay, enough about the...

Thinking outside the box: Princeton Firestone Library Phase 3

October 13, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Yes, we are already on phase 3 of the renovations at the Firestone Library on the Princeton University campus. Crews are replacing the entire parapet around the top of this floor of the library.Each time we do a phase it presents a new set of challenges. This was a unique scaffolding job, in that, we literally had to design and build it from the top down. That was because of the glass windows or façade on the North side of the building, directly over the library.Crews needed access to the entire parapet and that included the portion over the glass...

October 1, 2015

by superiorscaffold

When it's time to take the trash out this baby will do it – in spades!Superior Scaffold was lucky enough to be able to go all in at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood. As part of their $164 Million addition we doubled down and provided the debris chute and the scaffolding around it to keep it in place.This sleek unit was 5 stories tall with hoppers on each of the floors so the detritus could be moved out and into the trash dumpster at the bottom. Our scaffolding was secured to the exterior of the garage to keep...

Jacob’s Ladder – Superior Scaffold’s material moving hoist system.

September 10, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Now, we all know that the biblical version of Jacob’s Ladder is the bridge between earth and heaven as dreamt by Jacob and described in the Book of Genesis. The significance of that ladder was obviously greater than our version of Jacobs Ladder. But our ladder, if you will, or hoist at Jacobs Music (in Center City, Philadelphia, PA) moves heavy material from the earth skyward to its position on the façade of this structure and even to the roof of the building.Using a Patriot 1000 material hoist rigged atop of system scaffold at the top of our canopy and...
