Superior Scaffold wins the 2025 GBCA Construction Excellence Award for Best Specialty Contractor!!!

December 9, 2025

In an amazing setting, the best of the best in the city gathered at the 28th Annual Construction Excellence Awards to honor the region’s most outstanding construction achievements. Held at the National Constitution Center, the venue was the perfect place for the GBCA to unveil their new award format. Not only did it showcase the important work but gave attendees from a wide variety of trades the time to mingle and celebrate before and after the awards presentation. Superior Scaffold was proud to win for the Bellevue Hotel renovation as it was one of (if not) the largest supported scaffolds in the history...

November 25, 2025

by superiorscaffold

The Historic Bellevue Hotel. This record-setting Scaffold is 271 feet high, and two city blocks long – 404 feet! And that’s not even counting the 3rd side. There were lots of obstacles that had to be overcome with this one. Read on for the details. The owners of The Bellevue are renovating this historic 19 story building, constructed in 1904, into a new powerhouse mixed use structure with 155 residences, offices, hotel rooms, glorious event rooms and more.

Scaffold maze in courtyard on Greys Ferry Ave.

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...

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...

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

January 16, 2025

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...

Under the Milky Way – Sacred Heart Church Scaffolding

July 25, 2023

by superiorscaffold

So there’s this really cool church in Bridgeport PA, called Sacred Heart Catholic Church. But wait, is it in Bridgeport or Swedesburg, PA? It’s listed as both with the same address in "the Google". How can this be? I was confused so I had to do some digging, since my resident historian, Pat, has retired. Turns out, Swedesburg is a neighborhood or village (as they say on Wiki) in Upper Merion Township, PA that lies in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Whereas Bridgeport, PA is a borough in Montgomery County and only a few miles from Swedesburg. And Bridgeport, PA is approximately 6...

Weathering the Storm. Scaffolding 600 N. Campus Dr., Rowan University

January 5, 2023

by superiorscaffold

This giant facade restoration and coping replacement job at 600 N. Campus Dr at Rowan University weathered the storm and came out looking new again. What do I mean by that? It was the end of winter and for some strange reason we got an inordinate amount of rain making parts of erecting this job challenging but as you can see from the photos our guys completed the task and it looks fantastic. Because of the size and shape of the building we scaffolded it, using system scaffold, in three phases. We started on one end and then worked our way...

Rowan University, 5 story skylight scaffold and work deck

November 1, 2022

by superiorscaffold

This is one of those jobs where I think I’ll let the photos do the talking. I will say, that when I went to take pictures, the building superintendent for Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, told me that our guys where extremely accommodating and that he was blown away at how they were able to build a five story scaffold in and around all of the obstacles and still allow students and faculty to get to their locations. [ngg src="galleries" ids="66" display="basic_thumbnail" thumbnail_width="300" thumbnail_height="300" thumbnail_crop="0" images_per_page="32"] I think his comment about sums it up. Thanks to Rowan University and W.J. Gross, Inc. for...
