Superior Scaffold to provide scaffolding support for Philadelphia Energy Solutions turnaround at old Sunoco refinery.

July 29, 2013

Superior Scaffold has entered into a deal with Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES), to provide scaffolding support for a turnaround at their large Philadelphia plant. This is the Point Breeze refining complex – which is the old Sunoco plant in South Philly. Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) is the longest continuously operating refinery on the East Coast, processing 330,000 barrels of crude oil per day into various refined products. Superior will provide all of the necessary scaffolding support during this shutdown. “Our guys are currently working with PES planning and organizing the massive turnaround so everything goes smoothly,” said Lou Collins, Superior Scaffold estimator....

Changing ceiling tiles is MMM MMM good at Campbell’s Soup Headquarters.

July 16, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

This is one of those, once in a lifetime, cool jobs that you just have to brag about. Superior Scaffold was called out to the Campbell’s Soup Worldwide Headquarters in Camden, NJ to rig a special scaffolding in the boardroom. This is the same boardroom where one of the original Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Can paintings lives. And even cooler was the job. We had to come up with system to allow crews to change the ceiling tiles over the handmade wood table that resides in the boardroom. Sounds simple, right? Not really. The table is 8 feet wide by 30 feet...

Temple University Performing Arts Center Dome Repair

March 21, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

In the heart of Philadelphia sits an incredible treasure - the Temple Performing Arts Center. Purchased in 1974 by Temple University the Baptist Temple was designated as historic and a landmark building. It underwent an extensive remodeling and has since hosted many great performing artists. Superior Scaffold was called in by Temple University to help with the renovation of the two copper domes on top of the center. Over the years, the copper had oxidized and the wood beneath had fallen into disrepair. It was Superior Scaffold's job to get the crews up there to do the renovation. The first challenge was...

Nothing’s easy – The Road from Israel to South St. Philly for the famous LOD Mosaic

February 19, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

On January 26th, Superior Scaffold was proud to help bring to the East Coast one of the most incredible Roman Mosaics ever unearthed. The challenge to get them inside the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology was something of an engineering marvel taking scaffolding teams, crane operators, art curators, engineers, and scores of people. But first… A real-life “Cover up”. In 1996, workmen constructing a new highway in Lod, Israel (near modern-day Tel Aviv), made a shocking discovery: a 1,700 year old Roman mosaic under the surface of the road. At that time, the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted a rescue...

Holy Erection, Batman – 13th & Chestnut Emergency Services call to Superior Scaffold

December 19, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

I love it when we can help someone out in a pinch. That’s why we have the emergency services line. (215) 743-2200. Kind of like the Bat phone for scaffolding. I’d like to think that our very own Bob Sarkisian is Batman (in a way). But really, the only time he’s like the caped crusader is when he’s climbing the side of a building in one of his swing stages or answering the Bat phone, like this case. We say it – and we mean it. We will have crews on-site within 24 hours and the problem solved or at least...

Truly amazing 4 story shoring project in Princeton, NJ

December 6, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

[slideshow] Surprise, surprise, surprise. I walked into this old building thinking I would find a few dirty post shores holding up a section of calapsing entryway or maybe even a portion of cieling that needed support but what I found was truly amazing. Now, shoring isn't the most glamourus sector of the construction industry - relegated to dusty old basements and haunted houses deep in the underbellies where ghosts and spiders live...

Creative Scaffolding Solutions at Eisenhower Middle School, Norristown, PA

December 3, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

We get this call quite a bit. And even though it’s a smaller job, we wanted to show you what can be done when there doesn’t not seem to be an easy solution. The good people at Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy were installing a new HVAC unit and couldn’t figure out how to make the tie-in at the top safely using their ladders and scissor lifts, so they called Superior Scaffold. Superior estimator and creative guru, Pat McAndrew, quickly devised a solution that put system scaffolding on either side of the unit and then added an access ladder and 2...

Shoring up the AAA Mid-Atlantic Headquarters Building, Philadelphia, PA.

October 24, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold was called in to provide heavy-duty shoring for the New AAA building conversion into apartments. And when we say heavy duty, we mean it. The design for this 4 story building calls for adding an additional 8 FLOORS!!! Wow. The building at 21st and Market (2040 Market) was built in 1968 and was a 5 story structure (including a floor of underground parking) PCM Property Group and their architects Stephen Varenhorst Architects needed the best in the business when they had to shore up the existing structure, remove the old columns and replace them with new, even larger supports. Superior salesman,...
