by superiorscaffold

Transport Platform at Broad and Walnut, University of the Arts This is one of those serendipitous situations where everything just falls into place. Our estimator, Tony P, was talking to C. Erickson & Sons about a job and they asked if we had an elevator, like a Buck Hoist, for their project at Broad and Walnut. They needed a way to get men and material in and out without using the interior elevators. “Well, actually we have something better,” said Superior’s Tony P. “We’ve got a TP-2500 transport platform that will let you bring personnel and material up and down without the need of a professional...

Rowan University, 5 story skylight scaffold and work deck 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. As I said in the blog - l'll let the pictures do the talking! Thanks to Rowan University and W.J. Gross, Inc. for allowing us to be a part of this repainting and window replacing of...

Scaffolding a legend. Lucy the elephant, Margate NJ. You can’t miss her. They say you can see her from eight miles away. She’s big, bold, beautiful and a survivor!

She was built in 1881 by James V. Lafferty to promote real estate sales and attract tourists to Margate and the Jersey Shore. And boy has she delivered.

Superior Scaffold tackles difficult Christiana Hospital Expansion in Newark, DE When Christiana Hospital in Newark, DE decided to expand their South wing they called on trusted masonry experts, Joseph Rizzo & Sons. But Marc Rizzo, being a good production manager, took one look at this patient and realized that it was a little out of their normal scope – so he called Tony P at Superior Scaffold for assistance. Superior had to design and build a heavy duty, elaborate shoring system below the main level to hold the load of the entire frame scaffold, all the equipment and crews above it. Marc Rizzo,...

SCAFFOLDING ST. AGATHA – ST. JAMES CHURCH, 38TH AND CHESTNUT Working on The Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral at 38th and Chestnut is one of those once in a lifetime projects.
