Superior Scaffold was called back to Our Lady of Lourdes to add another level of scaffolding to the existing structure so crews could more easily remove the sections of the statue of the Mother Mary. It has been taken down in sections and sent off for repair. As you know, it was damaged in the earthquake. I've compiled a few of the news stories here - including a CBS news clip in which you can see the damage directly after the earthquake and the day before Superior's emergency response team raced in and secured her in place. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65584817@N08/6322633281/ Virgin Mary Statue Atop Lourdes Hospital...

Now I'll be honest with you. I'm a sucker for cool technologies being used in innovative ways (just see my previous blog entry about the hanging scaffold system). But when I learned what Superior Scaffold had to go through to get their giant mast climbers up to do the renovation work, I had to blog about it. Did you know that they actually had to X-Ray the cement on the side of the building to locate floor slab tie locations? Yep. And after having it explained to me it makes total sense. You see the tall (dual) masts for the Mast...
Read MoreIt’s crazy just how the world works sometime. We had just gotten our stuff to Vince at SA Magazine and the article hadn’t even come out yet when someone in our office remembered being contacted by Lindsey Anderson over at Access Lift & Handlers Magazine (part of KHL group). Again, we turned her name over the Erik who told her about the work we were doing over at Independence Hall. She was excited when she saw the images. She even thought that we would get the cover shot of the magazine. Yeah! So, we went back to the press release and...
Read MoreEveryone will tell you, that in business you need a bit of luck once in a while – and this was no different. We had everything together and ready to go but who would we get it to? And as bit of luck would have it, while going through our contacts, we remembered an email we had gotten from Vince Brennan, the editor at Scaffold Industry Magazine a few months prior, asking what we had going on. Bam. We gave Erik Highland, our photographer and marketing guy, Vince’s name and number and said – “have it him.”, which he obviously did,...
Read MoreOkay – we’ve made our plan. We’ve picked the project that would be great for all of America to talk about (the renovation of Independence Hall) and we’ve gotten some fantastic photos of both phases of the job site. Now what? How do we get press for the scaffold work we’ve done? We started by compiling a list of contacts that we have had over the years. Some are still valid and some are not – but we look at them as possible leads to run a story on us. While we are culling through our possible contacts we write a press...
