Superior Scaffold at the University of Pennsylvania, Market & 34th

July 25, 2012

University of Pennsylvania (U of P) is caulking and waterproofing the façade of their building at 3400 Walnut, (Market & 34th) Pennsylvania, PA 19104. Superior Scaffold provided an intricate sidewalk canopy (sidewalk shed), with overhead protection, 2 blocks long that would allow construction work to go on above while keeping the businesses open underneath. Superior also provided two suspended scaffolds (swings, swing-stage) to allow crews greater access to all areas of the façade. U of P turned to Superior because of the confidence they have for them to handle the safety requirements and guidelines set up by the city, state, and the university. Superior...

The scaffolding was in place and functioning well when one of the contractors determined that he...

Adding Graphics, Banners, and Advertisements to your Scaffolding Project

January 4, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

A capacity crowd of 46,967 braved temperatures in the 30s and intermittent snow flurries to see the visiting New York Rangers edge the Flyers 3-2, when the NHL and Bridgestone Winter Classic came to Citizen's Bank Park, home of baseball's Philadelphia Phillies. But little did the capacity crowd know what it took to get that ice onto the ground. Weeks of preparation, hard work, and yes, advertising. Advertising? Yep. All over the place. And it's a brilliant way to cover up scaffolding that might be necessary for the "behind the curtain" workings of an event like this. If you recall, Superior Scaffold wrapped the...

As the world found out - there were a few national structures that were damaged, such as the...

Again, we turned her name over the Erik who told her about the work we were doing over at Independence Hall. She was excited when she saw the images. She even thought that we would get the cover shot of the magazine. Yeah! So, we went back to the press release and...
