BEST SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR PROJECT

PROJECT NAME

Arthaus Monorail, Hoist and Swing System

WINNER

Superior Scaffold Services, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Superior Scaffold Services was called in by GMI Contractors and INTECH Construction, LLC to create a solution to safely install all the exterior glass on the new 47-story Arthaus building while other trades simultaneously worked on finishing the project. Superior’s suspended scaffold expert designed a truly innovative monorail system that enabled a massive hoist to lift 1,500-pound pieces of glass to their final destinations. The same scaffold towers also supported the weight of two giant suspended scaffold rigs, crew members, and their equipment. The team overcame obstacles to safely get the job done and deliver a stunning finished product.
