U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Washington, D.C.
Just across the street from the White House in Washington, DC, Scaffold Resource provided all the exterior access and hoisting requirements to support a full restoration of this historic façade and roof replacement. The requirements for this project along with some tough logistics required many of our products lines to be utilized for this work. The scope of work consisted of over 50,000 sq. ft. of scaffold façade access, 500+ Linear Ft. of Pedestrian Overhead Protection with parapets & lighting for signage, 2500# Material Only Hoist & Runway to the roof, Custom Monorail System for balustrade reconstruction, temporary construction stairs, trash chute, rolling towers, & cable hoist to support material conveyance.
Miami Freedom Tower
Miami, Florida
Scaffold Resource provided vertical access to the exterior tower of the Iconic Freedom Tower in Miami Florida for the repair of the roof, façade, and replacement of windows. The access scaffold system stood 150’ in elevation and stretched an additional 110’ to the top of the tower. Our team also installed a swing staging off scaffold system to complete work on 4 sides of tower below the 150’ elevation. This work was challenged by very limited space for storage of required material and limited footprint for the scaffold base, requiring a design to fit on existing ledges with cantilevers to provide 100% access to all surfaces.
Bridges

Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
Scaffold Resource furnished and installed a scaffold/containment structure for the 323′ tall suspension tower on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis, Maryland. Our team of expert engineers and builders overcame a few unique challenges with this project including taking delivery of our equipment via barge, installing scaffold over a 37’ wide active roadway, and ensuring our structure could withstand 100 mph wind gusts. Our success ensured that the contractor team could provide lead paint abatement, blasting and painting to help prolong the life of this modern marvel.

Churches
Washington D.C. Temple
Kensington, Maryland
Scaffold Resource furnished & installed a complete access scaffold system to support the restoration of the Iconic LDS Washington D.C. Temple spires. Our team strategically designed and executed a plan to crane materials to the roof and build and takedown scaffold on each spire until all spires were restored. We ensured that restoration experts had full access to all exterior stone surfaces for restoration and repairs. Concurrently, our team designed and installed an intricate interior access scaffold system and temporary shoring to assist the restoration team on interior work.
First Baptist Church
Winston Salem, North Carolina
Scaffold Resource designed and provided an exterior access scaffold system to support the restoration of the church steeple. This system consisted of temporary load distribution mats at grade with high capacity shoring towers that supported four 75’ long transfer beams spanning the full width of the church. This design allowed us to full scaffold the church steeple without any vertical loading to the existing structure and prevented any reshoring work into the finished space.
Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church
Baltimore, Maryland
Scaffold Resource assisted in the reconstruction of the Legendary Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, MD after its steeple was struck by lightning causing it to catch fire. Our team threaded needle beams through structural openings to create base to build up a scaffold access approximately 80 ft above ground. We integrated a material-only lift tie to the elevated scaffold structure to feed materials up for repairs and provided a trash chute, temporary stair tower and overhead protection to ensure the rest of the church maintained functional operation.
