Suspended Scaffold & Overhead Protection Watermark Building

March 10, 2015

The Watermark at Logan Square is a retirement community in Center City, Philadelphia providing independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care in a continuum of care. Crews were doing a mixture of façade repair, restoration, caulking, painting and patchwork. This was a multi-discipline set up for the Superior Scaffold Dream team. (Suspended scaffold & Frame divisions) We had to assemble an outrageous overhead protection system (canopy, sidewalk shed) at the base of the building on multiple levels so they could keep the business up and running while repairs took place overhead. And the swing stage team had to get...

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold provided the shoring support for the new edition at the Medford Leas Continuing Care Retirement Community on Route 70 in Medford, NJ. This maze of hi-load shoring frames was needed to support an 8” concrete slab with a 1.5” thick Epicore metal deck. We supplied 200 shoring frames, 800 hi-load jacks and 150 10’ aluminum beams that supported the weight while the new concrete was poured on top. Our shoring was necessary to support the structure while the new cement to cured. The biggest challenge was getting the material into the area. We used a crane to load a trailer into...

by superiorscaffold

In honor of 40 years of SNL (Saturday Night Live) I thought I’d post some pics of our emergency services overhead protection job at Hallahan Catholic Girl’s School. Superior Scaffold was called in to provide overhead protection so crews could repair pieces of the façade that were falling off. If you look carefully, on this photo, you can see some of the damaged masonry work covered by blue plastic. Superior quickly erected this canopy to protect students and pedestrians coming in and around the school. Our emergency services line is open 24 hours a day and we specialize in getting crews out...

Scaffolding & Containment Wrap for Swimwear Company remodel

February 10, 2015

in System

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was called out to provide a system scaffold and containment wrap (enclosure) so crews could demo the front of this store and remodel it – during the winter months. Containment wrap is great for keeping the heat in and the elements out when working in cold conditions. This was the old Cameo Water Wear store in Ardmore, PA specializing in swimwear and weekend wear. I can’t say if they are the ones doing the remodel or if there were actual swimsuit models in there – sometimes we are privy to that information but not always. However, this scaffolding was unique, in...

A 117 foot tall stair tower inside an elevator shaft. Wow! Here's a cool view before the the decks went in. Now that’s a seriously tall stair tower. (And inside an elevator shaft no less.) So that begs the question – Why? Image from Reddit Okay – so let’s shed a little light on this subterranean scaffold soiree. You see, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is commencing on a renewal and expansion of epic proportions. And it’s designed by world renowned architect Frank Gehry (famous for the expressive sculptural forms of buildings such as the Guggenheim Museum in Spain). This new expansion is going...

But I digress.The general contractor hired Superior Scaffold to provide a mast...

This particular location in West Windsor, NJ used to be a large Barnes and Noble store – and now it’s being converted into a new Bahama Breeze. The 26-year-old MarketFair shopping center is in the middle of design changes and a rebirth that promises new stores and lots of food. Superior Scaffold provided the scaffolding and shoring to support the giant steel girders overhead. You can see the enormous beams that had to be supported while crews cut them down. They left the ridge beam but the lower 4 had to go (for a new addition). But getting to those girders wasn’t...

As part of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia expansion project a very cool looking pedestrian bridge was built to allow easy access from the main hospital to the new Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care. Crews needed to get to the exterior of the bridge at the corner of Civic Center Blvd and E. Service Drive in downtown Philly. You have to admit that this is one great looking building. You can see from this shot what a unique pedestrian bridge this is and also where crews needed to be to to finish work. Superior Scaffold came in and erected a system...

Now, if you’ve ever owned a white car you know what a royal pain it is to keep clean in the winter. That white paint shows every piece of dust, dirt, and grime that you pick up driving around. So, imagine if you are a white building, built in 1913, 7 to 8 stories tall, smack dab in the middle of hustling, bustling Philadelphia. There are cars, buses, trucks, trains and pedestrians all kicking up dust around your base. And when the wind and rain kick up all of that debris floats upwards and sticks right to your sides. And just...
