Superior Scaffold’s debut at the Miller Theater – scaffold, swings, truss and overhead protection!
Superior Scaffold was called in by GC, Clemens Construction, to provide overhead protection and suspended scaffold for the renovation of the Miller Theater, at 250 South Broad Street, within the Avenue of the Arts cultural district of Center City Philadelphia.
The Miller Theater is the most prestigious location for touring Broadway shows, so the building needed to look as good as the entertainment it is putting on. Superior provided the swing stages (suspended scaffold) that crews used to reach every inch of the facade for cleaning, repairing, replacing and repointing.
One of the biggest challenges was to span the iconic Miller Theater front sign with giant 60’ steel beams. Putting them in place, around the ornamental light poles, was quite the challenge. It’s a very impressive span to carry. Our engineers had to put their thinking caps on as how to handle that large gap. But in the end, they figured it out and the show went on.
CAPA (The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts) was having their a graduation commencement on the day I went out to take more photos, so we got the added bonus of just how our canopy/overhead protection system functioned during the renovation.
The production went off without a hitch. Clemens was the star of the show – we were just glad to be part of the ensemble. And the theater looks like brand new!
Check out these before and after photos. Looks fantastic!
You can really see what work was done in this second before and after photo. Great job everyone!
