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.

Swarthmore College, Hicks Hall mural removal

September 12, 2018

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!

July 31, 2018

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

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

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

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...

Say Something. 1617 JFK Blvd., Canopy, Overhead protection around entire block!

March 2, 2018

by superiorscaffold

Most of my posts are written and then I come up with the musical theme but this one was written the other way around. I heard the song and thought it was fantastic but when I saw the video it just moved me. It's one of the coolest combinations of film and music I've seen in a long time. (scroll to bottom) This is one beautiful job – you can’t deny. When you see it you just know it is quality, love, and beauty. Since this is a blog and the idea is to Say Something about the work we do and...
