Suspended Scaffold & Canopy at Kennedy House

January 3, 2017

It’s 2017 people and we are “swinging” for the fences. Yes, I just said that. We are just glad that the weather is good and we can keep our clients happy. We’ve written about our work at the Kennedy House several times before, once for another canopy for some exterior repairs (you can read about it here) and the other time for our emergency services team protecting pedestrians (read about it here). This time we are here about the swing stages and canopy for the masonry repair and painting going on the exterior of this building. MPG (Masonry Preservation Group) has been doing a great job diligently bringing...

Superior is featured in Scaffold & Access Magazine!

December 19, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Scaffold & Access Magazine's latest issue features an article exploring the dynamics of working with family in the scaffold industry. Superior Scaffold is honored to be one of 3 companies featured. You can read the article here or click on the photos below. Look at a young Albert! The physical similarities to our CEO, his son, Guy are staggering. It's from Albert's original vision that Guy was able to continue to grow and build Superior into the customer-centric, quick responsive, scaffold company that it is today. A big shout out to Miss Cathee at Scaffold & Acess Magazine for her work on the article and featuring us. And...

4601 Market Street (Phase 2 – Scaffolding) Access

December 7, 2016

by superiorscaffold

We are back for phase two of the renovation process. This time around we are providing restoration crews access to the top portion of the building, including the 7 foot long wind vane ship. Yes, incredibly, that IS a giant wind vane. I wish I could have gotten a close up shot of that old ship but as you can see the scaffold crew was just erecting the base portion when I got there. Look at the corrosion that has built up over the years on the dome and the ship. Those will be brought back to their former glory. We’ve blogged...

Chasing Steam. Somewhere in Philadelphia…

November 30, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Here’s the skinny. And I do mean “skinny” on this job, people. You’d have to be the size of our marketing director to squeeze into this steam tunnel buried somewhere under the city of brotherly love. This utility tunnel, corridor or utilidor delivers steam to customers all around the city. Just like most things, me included, they need repair over time. It seems there were some leaks and actual damage to the cement above that needed to be fixed. So the call went out to the skinny guys at Superior Scaffold to give them access along two sections. The first section...

Rodin College House at U Penn, Suspended Scaffold, Mast Climbers and Canopy

November 15, 2016

by superiorscaffold

The sister skyscraper to Harnwell and Harrison House is getting a much needed facelift after forty years of weathering the elements. (You can read all about the Harwell renovation job we did here last year on our blog.) This uniquely shaped building at 3901 Locust Walk is a 25-story apartment complex that houses roughly 820 residents and is part of the university’s student housing. Superior Scaffold was called in to give masonry restoration crews total access around the entire structure. We did so by providing ten swing stages or suspended scaffold platforms on three sides of the building, and also by installing one...

Bryn Mawr Hospital Office Building North – Canopy, Overhead Protection System

November 3, 2016

by superiorscaffold

This is the second post of many about our overhead protection systems at Bryn Mawr Hospital. As I mentioned in a previous post, Bryn Mawr Hospital is undergoing a massive $200 Million, 200,000sf Patient Pavilion addition and Superior Scaffold was called in to provide scaffolding support. This 205 foot long system scaffold canopy runs along the front side of the North Medical Office building to the garage entrance and provides a walkway for patients and pedestrians who would typically enter on the other side of the building. They are currently being re-routed from the other side of the building due to the...

3 Story Loading Platform & Debris Chute, Wilmington, DE

October 20, 2016

by superiorscaffold

We normally talk about building a loading/work platform or a debris chute but not a combo loading platform and debris chute in one. Well here it is - a combo platform at CSC (Corporate Service Company) in Wilmington, DE. Our customer called Superior Scaffold and asked if we could come up with a solution to load material into the building while at the same time allowing debris to be moved out. And this is what we came up with. You see, this ain't our first rodeo folks (see below). But this one is constructed from shoring posts and hi-load frames and not system...

Customer installed rental equipment, suspended scaffold, swings, work platform

October 11, 2016

by superiorscaffold

We talk a lot about the jobs we do; mostly, those we design, deliver and erect. But we need to recognize a giant portion of our business and customer base – and that’s the customer installed rental equipment. This is one of those jobs. It’s where a client (or customer) will call Superior Scaffold and request a specific type of scaffold or equipment like these swing stages. We will pull the order, deliver it to the jobsite and then pick it up again once they are finished. We have many clients who install and operate our equipment. There is a caveat, however, and...

Thrill of victory canopy (on Jersey Barriers) in Old City!

October 7, 2016

by superiorscaffold

Spanning the globe to bring you constant variety of Scaffold. And this is certainly the thrill of victory – because in the shadows of the Ben Franklin Bridge sits a unique feat of engineering. A canopy! All right, calm down all you adrenaline junkies out there (you know who you are – Bee) I’ll get to the point. This isn’t just your ordinary canopy, no. This one sits on top of Jersey Barriers. “How you doin’?” Is this the first time we’ve ever done these? No. And it won’t be the last but it is unique and something fun to see to...
