Bridging the Future

January 26, 2021

These two pedestrian bridges span Convention Avenue and connect the brand new patient Pavilion to the existing Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine – permanently linking two of the most advanced medical facilities on the campus of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. They will allow patients and doctors to cross easily between the two. We had a huge hand in dismantling the old building where the Pavilion now sits. (read about it here) We also worked with Penn Medicine several times on the new building construction (read here) so it was only fitting that when CM, LF Driscoll, Balfour Beatty JV,...

Let the Pictures do the talking! Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital Expansion/Addition

October 25, 2017

by superiorscaffold

5 stories of system scaffold. Odd shapes and customized layouts on every elevation. Giant dance floor at the top. One incredible job! With some jobs it’s better just to let the pictures do the talking and this is certainly one of them!

Bryn Mawr Hospital Emergency Entrance Canopy

August 18, 2016

by superiorscaffold

This is cool. You get to actually see some photos of the guys erecting an overhead protection system. Superior Scaffold has several canopies around this Bryn Mawr Hospital complex, but let’s focus on this one for now. It’s at the emergency entrance where the ambulances pull up and drop off. There is construction going on all around this place.This overhead protection system probably seems quite normal but there a few unique features to it that I need to point out. First, let’s describe some of it as we see the guys erecting it.We start by having the equipment delivered to...

St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children – Dual purpose scaffold bridge and canopy

January 8, 2015

by superiorscaffold

When St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia needed to construct a pedestrian bridge from their new building to their existing parking garage – they called Superior Scaffold. We erected a scaffold bridge that had to serve two purposes, one, to get crews beneath the new pedestrian bridge so they could finish construction – without stopping traffic below, and two, to get pedestrians safely across the street from the parking garage to the main hospital. This was the main entrance so it had to remain open at all times. We came in at night and diverted traffic while we erected the scaffolding....

How to have a positive experience with a setback – Porch brackets at 1900 Rittenhouse, Philadelphia

November 18, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

It’s time to pay tribute to the outsiders in our company. Yes, it’s the swing department. In fact, I hate to admit this but they came up with that very clever headline. I wish I could take credit for it but I can’t. Is our swing department the “bad boys” of the company? You tell me? In their spare time all they do is race cars (fast cars) build hot rods, snowmobile through the frozen tundra (very fast) talk about driving fast, and taking chances. Have you detected a theme here? All except for the one VW building hippy who just...

Triple the action for Superior Scaffold at the Old Dublin Pike Bridge in Doylestown, PA.

September 24, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

The stone arch bridge was originally constructed back in 1875 and then rehabbed in 1947. So it was time for a reconditioning - seems that this old bridge still has over 5,000 cars travel over her every day in Doylestown, PA. Crews needed a way to support the structure and to get into the arches to repair the stones and masonry while keeping the road open above. This was the challenge for Superior Scaffold. First order of business was diverting the river through two of the arches so one could be fairly dry while the scaffolding was erected. Then, once...

Superior Scaffold and the historical Bausman Memorial United Church of Christ

August 28, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

This neat old church at 1064 Penn Ave, in Wyomissing, PA, that began its life in 1909, needed some repairs to the high vaulted plaster ceilings – so they called Superior Scaffold. [caption id="attachment_1428" align="alignnone" width="300"] Photo courtesy of Ed Reneger[/caption] Superior is known for its skill working with historical buildings and the care it takes around one of a kind artifacts and structures. This was no different. We had to construct some cool system scaffolding up, over and around pews, alters, and priceless objects at Bausman Memorial United Church of Christ The ceiling was divided into sections with flying buttresses, so...

Scaffolding support for Riddle Memorial Hospital $16.5M emergency department expansion

August 13, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

Riddle Memorial Hospital has embarked on two-year expansion designed to increase its emergency-room capacity by 60 percent. The two-phase project is anticipated to cost $16.5 million and will expand the emergency room by 4,000 to 5,000 square feet. Riddle has 33,000 visits annually to the emergency department. The hospital, which was built in the 1960's, was made to only accommodate 25,000 to 28,000 visits so this is a much needed expansion. The restructuring caused the admissions and registration area to be relocated to the east of where it is now, and the main hospital entrance to move west. So the call...

Going off the deep end with scaffolding…

January 3, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

The Princeton Medical Center at Plainsboro, NJ is adding on to their illustrious hospital with two new rehabilitation pools. The crews needed to get access to the ceiling to do some repairs and additions. Well, with swimming pools spanning the entire room it makes it a bit difficult to reach up that high. So they called Pat McAndrew at Superior Scaffold and said, “Help.” Since they had spent most of their budget on these incredible pools they were looking for a low cost alternative to just scaffolding the entire pools all the way up to the ceiling. They also wanted to...

Scaffolding the Cancer Treatment Center of America, Philadelphia, PA

December 20, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) at Eastern Regional Medical Center (Eastern), a state-of-the-art cancer hospital in Philadelphia, has been offering patients integrated, patient-centered cancer care since 2005. When they needed the best multi-trade scaffold to complete their renovation they called Superior Scaffold. Not only did they need to get glazers, carpenters, painters and inspectors access to the exterior of the structure but they needed to wrap the top half of the building with weather protection so they could work through the winter elements. It’s a pretty common practice for the cold months. It really helps keep the elements out while keeping a...
