New addition at Chester County Hospital calls for Superior scaffolding

June 28, 2012

Chester County Hospital in West Chester, PA is embarking on a $45.2 million building project to increase inpatient bed capacity with 72 new private rooms and to install a new, state-of-the-art linear accelerator for the treatment of cancer. As part of the plan, the Chester County Hospital and Health System called in Superior Scaffold to help work on the 93,000 sq. ft. Tower Project at 701 East Marshall Street. The scaffolding, constructed on top of the first floor's roof, allows crews to get to the floors above it to remove the skin (facade) and expose the steel to tie into. The new addition...

How to adapt existing system scaffold (Thomas Jefferson University Hospital)

June 27, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Even the best laid plans get interrupted from time to time. So was the case at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. The Alumni Hall building on the Jefferson University Hospital campus in Center City has been undergoing some changes to the HVAC system. Superior Scaffold was called out to install scaffolding on the 6th floor rooftop spanning the entire 42 foot long section of roof all the way up the the 9th floor so workers could get up to make piping tie-ins and add insulation. The scaffolding was in place and functioning well when one of the contractors determined that he...

Superior Scaffold’s canopy withstands the harshest of tests.

June 14, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

In an instant, lives can change. One second you are walking down the street and the next a car is careening out of control in your direction. To complicate things, you are beneath a canopy outside a hospital waiting for your scheduled appointment. That canopy supports a ton of weight in steel, aluminum and wood that could come crashing down around you. But luckily, Superior Scaffold installed the canopy. As one of the best in the industry Superior builds them to withstand most anything that can be thrown at it - including being run into by a car. Nobody wants their scaffolding...

by Superior Scaffold

And boy does she look great. As you all know by now Superior Scaffold got the opportunity of a lifetime to provide the system scaffold and scrim on the historic structure. And now she’s ready for her close up. I did notice a few spots that are waiting for some custom carpentry but for the most part she is back to her former glory. I won’t bore you with details – just have a look. Congratulations to everyone involved with the Independence Hall renovation. She looks great! ...

Superior helps Academy of Music keep its 155th-anniversary Concert and Ball – Rolling

February 7, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

It was a slightly different Saturday night in January at the Academy of Music's 155th Anniversary party. But this year the honored guests didn't leave to enjoy the entertainment - they stayed for the entire event. Thanks in part to Superior Scaffold and grand sales master Tony Pini, a special stage was extended all the way into the house with a floor that was built from the stage level to the low rise of the theater, over the orchestra seats. And for the first time, this allowed the guests to spread out and party all in one location. Built using system scaffold, planking...

Adding Graphics, Banners, and Advertisements to your Scaffolding Project

January 4, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

A capacity crowd of 46,967 braved temperatures in the 30s and intermittent snow flurries to see the visiting New York Rangers edge the Flyers 3-2, when the NHL and Bridgestone Winter Classic came to Citizen's Bank Park, home of baseball's Philadelphia Phillies. But little did the capacity crowd know what it took to get that ice onto the ground. Weeks of preparation, hard work, and yes, advertising. Advertising? Yep. All over the place. And it's a brilliant way to cover up scaffolding that might be necessary for the "behind the curtain" workings of an event like this. If you recall, Superior Scaffold wrapped the...
