Rowan University, 5 story skylight scaffold and work deck

November 1, 2022

by superiorscaffold

This is one of those jobs where I think I’ll let the photos do the talking. I will say, that when I went to take pictures, the building superintendent for Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, told me that our guys where extremely accommodating and that he was blown away at how they were able to build a five story scaffold in and around all of the obstacles and still allow students and faculty to get to their locations. [ngg src="galleries" ids="66" display="basic_thumbnail" thumbnail_width="300" thumbnail_height="300" thumbnail_crop="0" images_per_page="32"] I think his comment about sums it up. Thanks to Rowan University and W.J. Gross, Inc. for...

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...

Scaffolding a legend. Lucy the elephant, Margate NJ

August 10, 2022

by superiorscaffold

You can’t miss her. They say you can see her from eight miles away. She’s big, bold, beautiful and a survivor! Lucy the Elephant, the six-story tall piece of zoomorphic architecture located in Margate, NJ, is a national landmark constructed of wood and tin sheeting featuring several rooms accessed through staircases in her legs. She was built in 1881 by James V. Lafferty to promote real estate sales and attract tourists to Margate and the Jersey Shore. And boy has she delivered. As the world’s oldest surviving example of zoomorphic architecture, she is getting a major facelift. Lucy the Elephant is having...

Scaffolding Drexel University Main Building – The “Great Court”!

June 16, 2022

by superiorscaffold

This building is a fantastic example of old world craftsmanship. Completed in 1891 it features some the coolest artwork on the 35 foot tall archway entrance to the main building on Chestnut Street – known as the “Great Portal”. Just look up and you’ll see 12 relief medallion portraits of leaders in their various fields, from Galileo to Newton, forever emblazoned on the building’s Italian Renaissance stucco representing the wide of array of disciplines taught at the university. Now, with that said, we are doing work on the inside of the main Drexel University building on the Great Court that still...

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...

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...

A renovation for the ARCH Building at University of Pennsylvania

November 6, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold salesman, Anthony Pini rocked the house on this job at the University of Pennsylvania’s ARCH Building (Arts, Research and Culture House) in Philadelphia, PA. Not only did he meet the client’s needs on every phase, but he went so far as to bring the crews coffee and donuts on several occasions. He’s is certainly the king of customer service for Superior Scaffold. This is a very deceptive job from the outside because it’s shrouded from trees, signs, and netting. It masks the major renovation going on both inside and outside of this historic building. Built in 1929, it...

Superior Scaffold at Frick Laboratory, Princeton University, NJ

August 2, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold was called out to the Frick Laboratory at Princeton University to build scaffolding for crews to get access to the 3 floors of the structure. Crews will then install trash chutes so they can demo the entire interior of the building. Princeton University officials say that the former Frick lab will remain vacant until renovation funds become available. The Frick Lab is named after industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919). The lab, built in 1929, housed the academic chemistry facilities for over 83 years making it one of the oldest functioning labs in the United States. It has been...
