The look is elegantly contemporary in a neighborhood with some of the oldest streets and structures in the country.

It is our job to send in the biggest and the best suspended scaffold equipment in the business to help crews get the job done! Our modular suspended scaffold work...

500 Walnut St., Suspended Scaffold and Canopy, Ultra-Luxury Housing

June 27, 2017

by superiorscaffold

There aren’t too many companies that can say they’ve had a hand in constructing one of the most expensive Ulra-Luxury housing buildings in Philadelphia. This property boasts one of the most expensive penthouses that has been sold (even before the building was completed) at almost $18 million dollars. Yes, that’s million. Wow. But I guess you get unprecedented views of the city like the Delaware River stretching up to the Betsy Ross Bridge - to South Jersey - to Independence Mall and more. Superior Scaffold was called to provide access to the exterior of this 26 story luxury building so crews could...

“Meet me tonight in Atlantic City” – Resorts Casino Renovation

June 6, 2017

by superiorscaffold

To quote Bruce Springsteen from the song, Atlantic City, “Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact. Maybe everything that dies someday comes back.” Not that Resorts Casino has died but the building is coming back, and in a big way. Yes, I’m gong to reach with a few parallels from the song to our job so hold onto your shorts. To hear the song - scroll to the bottom or (click here). I’m just pointing out that like our young couple in the song looking to rebuild in Atlantic City - we too are from Philadelphia coming to Resorts Casino to help revitalize...

Hanging bridge platform, Smedley Park trestle, Springfield, PA

May 19, 2017

by superiorscaffold

SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) wanted to paint the structural steel beams and panels on the trestle that carries the trolley over Crum Creek at Smedely Park in Springfield, PA. Painters were only able to reach a portion of the exterior using a high-reach so they called Superior Scaffold to install a hanging bridge platform to give crews complete access to the exterior and interior of the trestle. Superior’s crew clamped spreaders onto the flange of the steel beams on the trestle and then hung trees from them and then decked it in using steel plank. I love these kinds of jobs! ...

by superiorscaffold

These are the jobs that make my life fun! Who gets to climb above the illustrious plaster dome of the Forrest Theater, 5 stories above the audience seating area? Superior Scaffold does! And a little later, I'll show you just what our guys had to go through to get a job like this done. This is all part of the massive renovation the Forrest Theater underwent. We also erected a giant scaffold to get crews to the underside of the ceiling. You can read about it here. I took most of these photos while the job was still being built. The plaster...

You get up everyday and go to work. You just wish and hope and pray sometimes that you will have your mind blown or something extraordinary will come your way. And when that happens, you get an extra charge, a jolt, a little pep in your step because you got to do something new and out of the ordinary. I love those days.

Sidewalk overhead protection at the Curtis Publishing Company building

April 19, 2017

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold erected this two hundred foot long canopy at the Curtis Publishing Building (601 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA). Once home of prestigious publications like The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, Country Gentlemen and more; it’s now a high end office building. Built in 1910, this beautiful structure takes up the entire block just across the way from Independence Hall. It was renovated in 1990 and is currently undergoing an exterior renovation to get it looking as good as new. The canopy is constructed of system scaffold, aluminum and steel beams, and has netting on the inside and debris panels on top. There...

Superior Scaffold thinking outside the box, 1500 Locust St., Philadelphia, PA

March 31, 2017

by superiorscaffold

So what happens when a client calls and says they need sidewalk overhead protection for a restoration project but the area where it’s needed is too narrow for traditional scaffolding? Well, enter the big brains at Superior Scaffold to solve the problem. You see, there is a reason you hire guys who have been in the business for over 65 years: They have seen most everything and can think outside of the box when needed. And that’s just what our King of Swing, Bob Sarkisian did on this job. There was no room for a traditional canopy or scaffold over the garage...
