Check it out! Post installation inspection – Canopy, Penn Medicine

January 17, 2019

This isn’t a big job but it has a very important distinction. If you look closely at the pictures you will see Superior’s Safety Director, Shawn MacDonald, doing a post installation inspection on this overhead protection system (canopy). Now, why is this important? Well, it’s part of our safety protocol and it insures the utmost safety for the contractors, subs and pedestrians. On the surface, this is a regular system scaffold canopy with debris panels and interior lighting but at it’s core it’s a pedestrian safety super structure. These things are made to withstand a tremendous amount of stress from all angles. It’s...

Love, love, love… All you need is Love. Scaffolding St. Vincent de Paul Church

January 3, 2019

in Rentals, System

by superiorscaffold

I saw a quote today that said, "I have decided to stick with love…Hate is too great a burden to bear," by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and it made me think. If you let hate build up over time it becomes toxic and can cause dis-ease in the body, as Wayne Dyer used to say, and destroy your health. Therefore the person we hurt the most with hate, resentment, grudges and dislike is ourselves. We are not always treated fairly or with respect, even by the ones we love but when we carry anger, hate or hurt we become...

by superiorscaffold

ALH Magazine featured two of Superior Scaffold's recent jobs. The first was our work with Metropolitan Opera House - or Met. It was quite a large project culminating in a work deck that was approximately 75 feet high. Click here or on either picture to read the entire article or here to see our original blogpost. And the second article features our work at The Residences at Mid-Town Park at 9th & Orange, Wilmington, DE. We had our new TP-2500 transport platform and several mast climbers there giving crews all access to this new building construction. Click on the image above to read...

Swarthmore College, Hicks Hall mural removal

September 12, 2018

in Canopy, System

by superiorscaffold

Most of the time when people tell you “out with the old and in with the new” it’s a good thing. Technology has advanced, building practices are more efficient, materials are better – you name it. And they are usually right. But sometimes when you are making that switch something from the past grabs you and holds on. Maybe it’s a memory from an era long gone or maybe the craftsmanship is unparalleled or just maybe there is something unique and one of a kind about it. Which is what we have here. You see, while Swarthmore College was preparing to...

The Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia comes to life!

by superiorscaffold

The Metropolitan Opera House or Met located at 858 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia (yes, Philly has a Metropolitan – not just NY) is undergoing a $56 Million restoration as a new Live Nation concert venue. The beautiful building has been sitting vacant for years. The 39,200-square foot theater was built in 1908 by Oscar Hammerstein I and called the Philadelphia Opera House. When it first opened in it was home to the Philadelphia Opera Company and sat some 4000 people as the largest venue of its kind in the world. In 1910 Hammerstein sold it to the Metropolitan Opera of New...

The Pavilion, Penn Medicine, Multiple Stair Towers

April 10, 2018

in System

by superiorscaffold

This is one of those jobs where I can let the pictures do the talking. It's a giant project and just seeing the scope is inspiring. The Pavilion will be a new hospital facility that will house 500 private patient rooms and 47 operating rooms in a 1.5 million square foot, 17-story facility. I’ll include the finished rendering so you can see what it's going look like. I will say that we have had 8 – yes – 8 stair towers in this massive hole over the past year in various locations and we will be erecting the 9th this week. Several...

Send me your money – Overhead protection and suspended scaffold at 1900 Market St.

March 23, 2018

in Canopy, Suspended

by superiorscaffold

It goes like this. You take your hard earned cash and give it to a stock broker who promises to make you a rich man. He says, “stick with me son, you’ll be farting through silk.” And since you don’t know jack about stocks and bonds only that you’ve seen these arrogant young punks driving around in Maseratis, Teslas and Ferraris you assume that they know what they are doing. So, against your better judgment - you send him your money. Maybe you check in with him maybe you don’t, but a few months later he calls and says, "wow we are...

New Construction, The Alexander, 1601 Vine St. 14 swing stages!

March 8, 2018

in Suspended

by superiorscaffold

New building construction. That’s not something you see us writing about at Superior Scaffold. We tend to show you the work we do renovating the classic old buildings. But we actually do quite a bit of new building construction. I just tend to focus on the old architecture because they make really pretty pictures. Ha. Don’t tell my boss. But when the guys at Armor Masonry brought us along for this job we thought it was a great opportunity to showcase some really complicated work on the Alexander – a new 32-story residential tower located on the North side of Center City. It’s...
