Superior’s emergency scaffold services at Cooper Medical School, Camden, NJ

July 19, 2012

Superior was called out to scaffold the auditorium in the new Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, in Camden, NJ so lights could be repaired and installed. The challenge here was that all of the auditorium seats had been placed into their permanent locations prior to fixing the lighting issues so Superior designed rolling scaffold to access and repair the malfunctioning lights - and to work around the seating. "Superior Scaffold and our emergency services team quickly assessed the problem and quickly came up with a mighty fine solution,” said estimator, Pat McAndrew. Rowan University and Cooper University Hospital have embarked on a unique...

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.

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...

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...
