Scaffolding for 14th/15th Century Buddhist Murals at University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology – vibration mitigation

April 26, 2016

It’s not often that we get a call for scaffolding one project right next to another but that’s just the case here. We are currently providing scaffolding and shoring all over the demolition of Penn Tower for the new Patient Pavilion at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. It's a massive job that we will be blogging about soon. But the unique thing about this job isn’t just that it’s located directly behind Penn Tower at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology but it’s that we were called in to provide scaffolding services for restoration crews to dismantle...

Birds of a Feather. Scaffolding around nesting Peregrine Falcons

March 10, 2016

by superiorscaffold

This is certainly a first for us in our 65 year history. We’ve erected scaffold just about everywhere and to all kinds of timetables. But we’ve never had to build scaffolding around the schedule of mating peregrine falcons.[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="590"] Photo courtesy of Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC). The nest in Manayunk, PA looks very similar to this one.[/caption]It seems that the steeple of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Manayunk is the nesting place for a pair of peregrine falcons and also a protected sanctuary designated by the Pennsylvania Game Commission Bureau of Wildlife Management (say...

An article by Superior Scaffold is featured in Construction Today Magazine!

February 10, 2016

by superiorscaffold

It's official. Someone's ego is sufficiently inflated. It seems that our very own marketing director has been moonlighting for the GBCA (General Building Contractors Association). The latest issue features an article written by him - no pen name, no alias, no nom de plume to hide his identity just 3 big pages of well written prose and nifty photos crafted around the concept of "Like a Thief in the Night."The article details just how a scaffolding company (Superior Scaffold) goes about working on historic structures, erecting thousands of pounds of aluminum and steel without damaging the existing facade or outlying...

17th & Locust Overhead protection and Suspended Scaffold

January 29, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Here is a very tall canopy that Superior Scaffold provided for the restoration project at 17th & Locust on the back side of the Radisson Blu Plaza Warwick Hotel. Now that’s a mouthful… Whew…And not only did we erect the overhead protection but we also provided Joseph Dugan the swing stages necessary to complete the total restoration of the exterior.I love it when we can show just a few shots of our crew assembling the job so you can see just want goes into a system canopy like this one.I will get shots of the canopy traveling all the way...

Step right up. Step right up. You won’t believe your eyes…

by superiorscaffold

This is a unique one. Take a close look at the photo. What do you see?This classic looking building was built in 1830. Or was it? Wait. The façade of the building, known as the Pennsylvania Building (Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Company), was built in 1830 but the actual building was demolished in 1971 and the façade was preserved as a screen in front of the newer office building.But that’s not all folks. Step right up and tell me what else you notice about this building? Got it?Look at the address. 508-10 Walnut St., crazy – it takes up two spaces...

December 16, 2015

All the world’s a stage at the St. James in Washington Square, PA.

Scaffolding the massive front desk at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City

December 11, 2015

by superiorscaffold

Superior Scaffold was proud to take part in the renovation of the 50 foot long front desk at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. It was a great opportunity to provide a unique scaffolding platform for a renowned California artist to complete his work. It's all part of the casinos $13 million revitalization.The artist, who will remain anonymous, was installing a series of delicate glass pieces behind the new front desk and we had to provide enough of a working platform to get the job done. This job was done in two phases – this is the...

Shoring Peermont Substation, Avalon, New Jersey, Phase 2

November 3, 2015

by superiorscaffold

This is phase 2 of a really unique electrical substation in Avalon, NJ. You really need to read the original story first to really grasp the “coolness” of this. Click on the pic or here:Phase two for Superior Scaffold entails shoring up the sub-floor or grating so that crews can drive their heavy machinery over it while constructing the structure of this building. And by heavy machinery I’m thinking scissor lifts and such as they add the structural steel to the foundation. Obviously, this isn’t going to be just an ordinary house that sits near the beach. In a nutshell, they...

The art of scaffolding at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA)

October 22, 2015

by superiorscaffold

What a great looking building this is, smack dab in the middle of downtown. This is the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. It’s a historic Victorian museum and Art school (offering 19th & 20th century American works). I would have loved to enter that place everyday to learn. Incidentally, it’s the first and oldest art museum and school in the United States.I’m going to put a link to some pics from their website to show you just how cool the structure is beneath our scaffolding. Check out the giant paintbrush just to the right. I love it.Okay, enough about the...
