Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart Sacred Heart is expanding this old structure in a big way, updating the old 4 story brick school building to a more open-style learning environment. But to do that – they needed to take out most of their support walls and put new steel and concrete in to carry the weight. Normally, not a big deal because you do it one floor at a time. But this job was doing it ALL AT ONCE… Yes, 4 massive floors of concrete and steel being supported or shored up at once. Superior Scaffold engineer, Bob Robinson, had to design...

Hanging Bridge Platform, Cherry Hill, NJ Superior was called in to provide a very unique way to get beneath this bridge to make repairs. Instead of anchoring a barge in the water beneath the bridge, or parking a giant truck with a bridge inspection bucket (like a cherry picker with a platform) above it we chose to suspend a platform from the steel beams and girders beneath the bridge itself. The brackets hold the weight of the scaffold platform beneath it and all of the workers, equipment, and parts necessary to make the repairs. It’s effective way to get beneath this structure. By...
