Superior Scaffold congratulates the Super Bowl LII champion Eagles!

February 5, 2018

What an unbelievable game it was! And what a season this has been! I’ll admit I’m normally not a huge football fan but how can you not get fired up watching the Eagles overcome adversity and go on to win the Super Bowl! What made me an Eagles fan? Well, it started back in October with a special tour through the Link and an opportunity to meet resident badass, defensive end, Brandon Graham. https://youtu.be/msafVeGHaRc And it was his strip sack of Tom Brady that pretty much sealed the win! He’s a super nice guy and one heck of a player. And then we got a tour...

Rollin’ – 13th and Market – Canopies and Doublewide Swing stages

February 1, 2018

Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ Though the streams are swollen Keep them doggies rolling Rawhide Rain and wind and weather Hell bent for leather Wishing my girl was by my side All the things I'm missin’ Good victuals, love and kissin’ Are waiting at the end of my ride It’s our job at Superior Scaffold to keep things rollin’. What do I mean by that? Well, when you have a business smack in the middle of the busiest part of town and you have a complete restoration going on overhead – you don’t want anything to stop. You want to keep those sidewalks open for all of the pedestrian traffic possible. I will...

Superior Scaffold – Can’t Touch This!

November 15, 2017

by superiorscaffold

At first glance, this mixed bag of tricks seems as fresh as a pair of MC Hammer pants. It looks like they used as many different access disciplines as possible to protect and erect a structure. But further examination proves otherwise. When they decided to erect an apartment complex where the old parking lot used to be they didn't think they would have to work around one lone structure. And part of the deal was that they couldn't touch that building at all. So what do you do? You bust a move and call Superior Scaffold and we come up with a legit...

Upper Moreland High School Swimming Pool Deck and Rolling Towers

August 26, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Now, this is the second way to scaffold a swimming pool so crews can get to the inside ceiling area for work, renovation or additions. The first way, as we showed you, in this article at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, was to scaffold the entire pool and then continue the scaffolding right up until just beneath the ceiling where we added a deck or dance floor.This way can be used when there are only sections of the ceiling that need to be addressed. We scaffold the entire pool area and then deck it in using steel plank and ¾” plywood to...

Breathing new life into 4601 Market St. – Negative Air Enclosures

April 8, 2015

by superiorscaffold

A more appropriate title would be: Sucking Old Life Out of 4601 Market. Say what? The former Provident Mutual Life Insurance campus is going to be turned into a new headquarters for the Philadelphia Police Department, Philadelphia Health Department, and City Morgue. As part of the redevelopment, Superior Scaffold is providing scaffolding support for the negative air enclosures. Yep, you heard correctly. Negative air enclosure – it essentially creates negative air pressure in the building while crews are doing asbestos abatement work. The contaminated air in the building gets sucked out through these large chutes that Superior Scaffold erected (then skinned or wrapped) and...

Scaffold solutions in tight spaces – Bryn Mawr Hospital mechanical room

April 18, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

I wish that every job could be as expansive as Independence Hall, or Amtrak 30th St. Station or Citizens Bank Park / Philly Stadium but the reality is that a lot of the work we get is trying to come up with scaffolding solutions in very tight spaces. Our guys are some of the best at designing scaffold that will get crews access to just about any working space. The mechanical room at the Bryn Mawr hospital is a perfect example. There was virtually no room in there to get the scaffolding in - let alone set it up. Crews needed...

Bend Me, Shape me – Superior Scaffold swings at the CityView Condos

September 4, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

Who would have thought that the 1960’s cult hit from the band The American Breed would have been a perfect fit for this suspended scaffold job at the CityView Condos. But once you see what Superior Scaffold can do with modular swing stages you will understand the significance of, “Bend me, Shape Me”. Every now and then you run into a job that doesn’t have a flat surface – like here at 2001 Hamilton St, Philadelphia, PA 19130. The building is unique, in that, it has 45 degree corners. This poses a challenge for most contractors trying to do any...

Creative Scaffolding Solutions at Eisenhower Middle School, Norristown, PA

December 3, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

We get this call quite a bit. And even though it’s a smaller job, we wanted to show you what can be done when there doesn’t not seem to be an easy solution. The good people at Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy were installing a new HVAC unit and couldn’t figure out how to make the tie-in at the top safely using their ladders and scissor lifts, so they called Superior Scaffold. Superior estimator and creative guru, Pat McAndrew, quickly devised a solution that put system scaffolding on either side of the unit and then added an access ladder and 2...

Our Lady of Lourdes blessed morning photograph

September 24, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold estimator Pat McAndrew was at Our Lady of Lourdes medical center early last week and snapped this gem of the Mother Mary statue in her full glory. Yes, it's an iphone picture but you can clearly see that she's up and beaming once again. I particularly like the halo at the top. Pat was at the medical center for another scaffold install we are doing up "air" (as they say in Philly). I'll get you details on that just as soon as them become available. Until then - enjoy. You can read the original article about saving our Lady of Lourdes here: And...

Video Tour of the Virgin Mary Statue on top of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center

November 11, 2011

by Superior Scaffold

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGyQT5xBYLs Here is a video tour of the scaffolding and the Mother Mary statue on top of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ. It clearly shows the damage that the earthquake did to her as well as the necessary guy-wires to hold her down in case of aftershocks. Superior Scaffold had to transport all of the scaffolding materials through a maze in the hospital and even assemble most of the sections on a lower roof and then hoist them up where they could be put into place. You can see the difficulties in just getting to the statue...
