How to have a positive experience with a setback – Porch brackets at 1900 Rittenhouse, Philadelphia

November 18, 2013

It’s time to pay tribute to the outsiders in our company. Yes, it’s the swing department. In fact, I hate to admit this but they came up with that very clever headline. I wish I could take credit for it but I can’t. Is our swing department the “bad boys” of the company? You tell me? In their spare time all they do is race cars (fast cars) build hot rods, snowmobile through the frozen tundra (very fast) talk about driving fast, and taking chances. Have you detected a theme here? All except for the one VW building hippy who just...

Triple the action for Superior Scaffold at the Old Dublin Pike Bridge in Doylestown, PA.

September 24, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

The stone arch bridge was originally constructed back in 1875 and then rehabbed in 1947. So it was time for a reconditioning - seems that this old bridge still has over 5,000 cars travel over her every day in Doylestown, PA. Crews needed a way to support the structure and to get into the arches to repair the stones and masonry while keeping the road open above. This was the challenge for Superior Scaffold. First order of business was diverting the river through two of the arches so one could be fairly dry while the scaffolding was erected. Then, once...

August 28, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

This neat old church at 1064 Penn Ave, in Wyomissing, PA, that began its life in 1909, needed some repairs to the high vaulted plaster ceilings – so they called Superior Scaffold.

Superior Scaffold and Mission Impossible at Seneca Niagara Casino, Niagara Falls, NY

August 9, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

They said it couldn’t be done. They said it was too far away. They said it was too costly. But they were wrong. Only the awesome staff at Seneca Niagara Casino and one lone salesman at Superior Scaffold had the vision for this $26 Million dollar remodel of their main casino floor. And as part of the massive redesign the Casino is investing $6 Million toward a new HVAC system to greatly improve the air quality throughout the entire casino. This will be the first major renovation of the original casino since it turned the old Niagara Falls Convention Center into...

Changing ceiling tiles is MMM MMM good at Campbell’s Soup Headquarters.

July 16, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

This is one of those, once in a lifetime, cool jobs that you just have to brag about. Superior Scaffold was called out to the Campbell’s Soup Worldwide Headquarters in Camden, NJ to rig a special scaffolding in the boardroom. This is the same boardroom where one of the original Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Can paintings lives. And even cooler was the job. We had to come up with system to allow crews to change the ceiling tiles over the handmade wood table that resides in the boardroom. Sounds simple, right? Not really. The table is 8 feet wide by 30 feet...

Going off the deep end with scaffolding…

January 3, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

The Princeton Medical Center at Plainsboro, NJ is adding on to their illustrious hospital with two new rehabilitation pools. The crews needed to get access to the ceiling to do some repairs and additions. Well, with swimming pools spanning the entire room it makes it a bit difficult to reach up that high. So they called Pat McAndrew at Superior Scaffold and said, “Help.” Since they had spent most of their budget on these incredible pools they were looking for a low cost alternative to just scaffolding the entire pools all the way up to the ceiling. They also wanted to...

Scaffolding the Cancer Treatment Center of America, Philadelphia, PA

December 20, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) at Eastern Regional Medical Center (Eastern), a state-of-the-art cancer hospital in Philadelphia, has been offering patients integrated, patient-centered cancer care since 2005. When they needed the best multi-trade scaffold to complete their renovation they called Superior Scaffold. Not only did they need to get glazers, carpenters, painters and inspectors access to the exterior of the structure but they needed to wrap the top half of the building with weather protection so they could work through the winter elements. It’s a pretty common practice for the cold months. It really helps keep the elements out while keeping a...
