Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital

September 17, 2019

Let the Pictures do the talking! Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital Expansion/Addition 5 stories of system scaffold. Odd shapes and customized layouts on every elevation. Giant dance floor at the top. One incredible job! Superior Scaffold provided the scaffolding for the new 22,000 square-foot atrium/lobby as part of the hospital’s expansion/addition at the Cherry Hill campus. And as of this month Kennedy Hospital will be known as Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital as part of a merger between Jefferson Health and Kennedy Health. The cool thing about this job was the layout. We had to follow the curve of the atrium and unique design of the interior to erect this huge scaffold. There...

Pulling back the curtain for opening night. Restoring the Forrest Theater. Forrest Theater, 1114 Walnut Street Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Forrest Theater is a beautiful, classic, theater built in 1928 in the Center City area of Philadelphia. Built at a cost of $2,000,000 it was one of architect Herbert J. Krapps more elaborate theaters. It boasted many of the conveniences now expected in modern 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...

Cantilever Scaffold on 28th Floor

September 10, 2019

by superioradmin

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. For those of you not familiar with a cantilever system it’s basically a way to use leverage to extend out so the weight of the new deck is supported by the floor below. The initial thought was a...

Forever 21, Shoring & Scaffolding

September 9, 2019

by superioradmin

Shoring & Scaffolding, Forever 21 Forever 21 is building out their new location on Chestnut street and decided to enlarge the entrance way and windows on the first few levels. They wanted theirs to look similar to Sephora with lots of light coming in the front of the store. Superior was first called out to provide the scaffolding for the facade restoration - but later provided the shoring when crews realized just how much work it would take to create the new openings. Forever 21 asked if we could add shoring without removing the scaffolding. So we came up with a solution...

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...

Superior erected as system scaffold allowing crews to get access to all areas of this monumental restoration and parapet wall replacement project. The...
