Triple the action for Superior Scaffold at the Old Dublin Pike Bridge in Doylestown, PA.
September 24, 2013
The stone arch bridge was originally constructed back in 1875 and then rehabbed in 1947. So it was time for a reconditioning - seems that this old bridge still has over 5,000 cars travel over her every day in Doylestown, PA. Crews needed a way to support the structure and to get into the arches to repair the stones and masonry while keeping the road open above. This was the challenge for Superior Scaffold. First order of business was diverting the river through two of the arches so one could be fairly dry while the scaffolding was erected. Then, once...

Superior Scaffold and Mission Impossible at Seneca Niagara Casino, Niagara Falls, NY
August 9, 2013
They said it couldn’t be done. They said it was too far away. They said it was too costly. But they were wrong. Only the awesome staff at Seneca Niagara Casino and one lone salesman at Superior Scaffold had the vision for this $26 Million dollar remodel of their main casino floor. And as part of the massive redesign the Casino is investing $6 Million toward a new HVAC system to greatly improve the air quality throughout the entire casino. This will be the first major renovation of the original casino since it turned the old Niagara Falls Convention Center into...

Changing ceiling tiles is MMM MMM good at Campbell’s Soup Headquarters.
July 16, 2013
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...

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.

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
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...
