Cantilever Scaffold on 28 Floor, Philadelphia, PA Superior Scaffold was called in to help crews get to the decorative steel structure on the outside of the top of this new building construction at 3601 Market Street. But how could we get them and their equipment out far enough to work safely on this structure at the top of the building? A cantilever scaffold from the floor below.

Seneca Niagara Casino Hanging Work Platform

September 6, 2019

by superioradmin

This was an enormous multipoint suspended platform job. What this project entails is getting crews up underneath the ceiling while the casino remains open for business as usual so they can get the new HVAC and mechanicals installed. The solution came in the form of what is called a multi-point suspended scaffold. It’s not only wide, but stable enough to hold equipment, rolling towers, HVAC piping, etc. These giant work platforms actually hang from chains from the arched trusses at the ceiling. It’s netted in so nothing can fall off of the sides and its sturdy enough to support just about...
