Shoring & Scaffolding at Forever 21

December 3, 2014

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...

Are you ready for some football? Mast climber in elevator shaft – Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles Stadium) expansion

August 5, 2014

by superiorscaffold

“Are you ready for some football?” Well, the Philadelphia Eagles will be this year with some incredible upgrades to their stadium during the off season. And Superior Scaffold is proud to have played a part. The Eagles are transforming the game day experience by placing nearly 1,600 more seats in the stadium. The Eagles and Panasonic have also teamed up to install the highest-definition LED video boards in the entire NFL. In all, 9,400 square feet of video and ribbon boards will make the in-game experience almost as visually stunning as the action on the field. Superior was brought in to provide...

Superior Scaffold ramps up for Toyota at the Philly Auto Show

February 7, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

Toyota set up an indoor track complete with traction ramps, water hazards, sand traps and suspension bumps giving the user the ultimate car buying experience. Patrons are invited to ride along inside the new line up of Toyota vehicles to get a real world idea of how they will perform. Toyota contacted Superior Scaffold to build the ramp that would test the climbing and traction control of their vehicles. We jumped at the chance. The ramp is 8’ high by 14’ wide and 53’ long. ...

How to add floors to an existing building – high exposure cantilever scaffold

February 5, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

This is amazing to me. How do you add 3 floors to an already existing building? You probably haven’t thought about that before. I know that I hadn’t but the people at Superior Scaffold have many times. In downtown areas space is a valuable commodity so sometimes the only place to expand is up. But this leaves a myriad of challenges. The biggest one being how do we do all of the necessary heavy work outside of the building that needs to be done? Well, by creating working space outside of the area being built. And in this case at the Parc...

Suspended Scaffold & Overhead Protection at Rittenhouse Plaza, Philadelphia

January 23, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

Deep in the heart of Philadelphia’s most prestigious historic district (Rittenhouse Square) is this gem of a pre-war building called Rittenhouse Plaza at 19th and Walnut. The historical structure of this building is being preserved to retain the integrity of the original design (1926). Superior Scaffold was called in to help get crews all around the perimeter of this 21 story art deco building while they give it an extensive exterior restoration. Our experience working with historic buildings gave us the upper hand in designing a suspended scaffold plan to get crews onto the facade. Bob Sarkisian, V.P. of Suspended Scaffolds...

Scaffolding support for facade and masonry restoration @ First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA

January 21, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold is proud to be working on the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Philadelphia. We are providing scaffolding support for a complete facade and masonry restoration on this church constructed after the civil war. Superior was called in because of our experience working with historic buildings, especially ones that might have delicate or sensitive objects. This particular church was no different - they have one of the most extensive stainded glass window collections on the east coast. See it here. The First Presbyterian Church also has some beautiful artifacts and spires at the top of their steeples that required a special touch. We...

Superior Scaffold Sidewalk Shed: The key to commerce.

January 10, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

To some this might seem a bit commonplace, since you see them everywhere, but to us it’s the key to commerce. These canopies are what keep industry rolling. Just think about it for a minute. If we didn’t construct these sidewalk sheds around buildings that were doing façade work or window replacement or brick and mortar repointing, everything would shut down. No food for the tenants, no around the corner morning coffees, no treats or ice cream – nothing. These are our very own little stimulus package. Many times, just like with this canopy, it serves a dual purpose; one, keeping...

Superior Scaffold doing double duty

December 12, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

In this edition of "Scaffolding Philadelphia" we get to show you how we can do double duty with our scaffolding creations. This particular story was previously documented in the number 1 hit blog "Bend Me, Shape Me" that detailed the versatility of the altrex staging used by our suspeded scaffold division. But this soon to be number one blog hit "Double Duty" (I can see Foreigner singing the theme song here or since this is a Tony P job - even Journey with Steve Perry) details the lower half of the job at City View. Not only did this overhead protection have...
