Unique Scaffold Applications, SEPTA Cantilever, Temple Rock Wall

April 17, 2019

Now each of these could be its very own post but I thought I’d combine them into one article of cool scaffold jobs. The idea is to show two interesting applications for scaffolding that you might not have considered. Let’s start with this cantilever work deck at the newly renovated Arrott Transportation Center (originally the Margaret-Orthodox-Arrott station and formerly named Margaret-Orthodox station). Try saying that five times really fast. It is an elevated railway station on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line, located above the intersection of Frankford and Oxford Avenues, in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As you can see from the pics we had to erect scaffold inside a decorative steel tower that would allow...

This is brilliant. Great job Carhartt.

A carefully crafted blog about women getting things done, carving, building, scaffolding, painting, etc - but the kicker is that they are all wearing Carhartt clothing. Well done. A very smart campaign. ABOUT....

‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky – Scaffolding the New Dover High School Auditorium

July 31, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

Jimi Hendrix might have been thinking of other things when he wrote those lyrics but if he was around today in the new Dover High School auditorium (Dover, DE) he’d be singing about Superior Scaffold’s ability to get crews up to the ceilings of very tall structures, just like this state-of-the-art hall. And that’s just what we did on this very cool job. Crews needed a way to get to very top of the new auditorium so Superior devised a system scaffold platform that was able to span the entire length and width of the space from the stage across the...

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...

How to change a light bulb – Scaffolding style

November 2, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

How do you change light bulbs on the ceiling above a giant spiral staircase that descends several floors? You can see the light fixtures just out of reach from the railing in the shot. Sure, you could dangle precariously from several extension ladders, or you could cautiously lean over the edge while your coworker holds onto your belt loop while you reach with all of your might to grasp the super hot bulb and pray that you didn't piss them off in the past. But then, how would you get to the recessed ones directly in the center? Hmmmm??? Or...

Scaffolding walkway at Chestnut Hill Hospital in Philadelphia, PA

October 10, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Here’s a nifty little job. Something you might not see everyday: An Interior Canopy. Now, you might be asking yourself, why would Superior Scaffold put something that is normally outside on the sidewalk, inside a hospital? It’s simple, really – Chestnut Hill Hospital needed to remain open for business while repair crews replaced the skylights in the entire lobby and vestibule. By putting what amounts to a canopy or sidewalk shed inside, doctors, patients, visitors and guests can all pass safely through the entrance while work continues overhead. It’s business as usual, as we say in the...

Our Lady of Lourdes blessed morning photograph

September 24, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold estimator Pat McAndrew was at Our Lady of Lourdes medical center early last week and snapped this gem of the Mother Mary statue in her full glory. Yes, it's an iphone picture but you can clearly see that she's up and beaming once again. I particularly like the halo at the top. Pat was at the medical center for another scaffold install we are doing up "air" (as they say in Philly). I'll get you details on that just as soon as them become available. Until then - enjoy. You can read the original article about saving our Lady of Lourdes here: And...

Amazing uses for scaffolding. Calpine energy turbine repair.

September 12, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Every now and then, a really cool use for scaffolding comes across my desk, and this is one of those times. Maybe I’m just genuinely curious as to how stuff works but I thought I’d pass this along. This is the top of giant electric turbine at the Calpine Energy, Delta, PA power plant. The plant is a state-of-the-art, combined cycle, power generating plant powered mainly by natural gas. The plant consists of 8 electric generators – and these photos are of one of those turbines! Basically, these gigantic turbines spin around at amazing speed to produce electricity for cities and...

A unique before and after look at Boathouse Row repair, Philadelphia, PA

August 28, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold at Bachelors Barge Club (Est 1853), Philadelphia, PA. Bachelors boathouse #6, (built in 1893) is repairing part of the exterior of their house on Philadelphia’s historic Boathouse row. Superior provided canopy protection for the side of the building while erecting system scaffold above - so crews could get access to the spots that needed repairing without hindering daily operations. This is a unique opportunity to see a before and after view of the repair process. As you can see in the first series of photos taken by Superior estimator, Pat McAndrew, there are large cracks in the facade...
