Giant Game of Operation

WINNER

Superior Scaffold Services, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Superior Scaffold Services, Inc. designed a scaffold that allowed crews to play a giant game of Operation! The scaffold got workers close enough to the structure to remove, attach, lift up and out 500-pound pieces of limestone that covered the entire exterior so they could reseal and waterproof the structure. A two-foot gap was created, enabling a crane cable to be threaded in between the building and scaffold. Workers attached the stones and slowly hoisted them out, one at a time, carefully avoiding hitting the scaffolding and building. This was executed during one of the windiest, rainiest, and stormiest times of the year.
