Reading Terminal Market (East Side) An intricate maze of scaffold

August 26, 2022

by superiorscaffold

This is one of those jobs that blows my mind. It’s not huge, but it took a lot of ingenuity to get it done. Premier Building Restoration is renovating the entire exterior of the Reading Terminal Market and this side has been challenging, to say the least. We won the prestigious GBCA Scaffold Project of the Year award for our work a little to the left of this job. You can read all about it here. In that job, we had to create a suspended scaffold rig that sat on the parking garage next door. On this job, we had to erect...

Suspended scaffold, canopy and more at 510 N. Broad

July 19, 2022

by superiorscaffold

From a hole in the ground to a new mixed use apartment complex. LVL North, at 510 N Broad, offers an artful blend of stylish apartments and luxury living. At least that’s what their website says. No matter how you say it, this complex situated in Philadelphia’s “avenue of the arts” neighborhood will certainly create some buzz when it’s completed. Superior Scaffold was called in early on this project by GC, Clemens Construction, to give access support along the way. We started with a stair town in the hole when they broke ground and then erected a canopy/overhead protection system all the...

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...

Shoring & Scaffolding at Forever 21

December 3, 2014

by superiorscaffold

An appropriate title for this post would be "Shoring Exposed" - because that's exactly what we are going to do here. It's not often that we get to show a complicated shoring job because they are usually buried deep in some dark nasty place but this one had just enough light to show the details. http://youtu.be/joLUcTWduUM There were 2 phases of this job - the shoring and the scaffolding. Let's start with the shoring first. Forever 21 is building out their new location on Chestnut street and decided to enlarge the entranceway and windows on the first few levels. Look at how their...
