Pinnacle Scaffold Corporation - University of Delaware

PROJECT DETAILS

Pinnacle provided the scaffolding for this monster job in Newark, DE, at the University of Delaware. This job is big! Look at the photos. It’s over 1800 lineal feet of scaffolding encasing 143,000 gsf of new student residences at the University of Delaware in Newark.

Pinnacle was called in to create an access and working platform for multi-trades at every level at all times all around this structure. The GC needed someone they could rely on for constant changes, updates, and a moving target of issues from a multitude of vendors.

Pinnacle was brought in because they have the ability to move quickly, efficiently, and bring projects in on-time and under budget. And when there are multi-trades all over the scaffold each trying to get their time in to finish the job – you want a man like Anthony Pini, to handle the details and changes that all of these companies need to finish their parts.

South Academy Street Residence Hall will provide 531 beds for first year students. Located directly north of Hartshorn Hall, the SARH will be the final component of the East Campus Housing Program and is scheduled to open in August 2017.

You can see the vast amount of system scaffold all around this job all to give crews access to the entire façade at all times. We’ve got stair towers, ladders, chutes, overhead protection you name it – it’s out there.

There is a lot going on! This is a busy construction site and safety had to be of the utmost priority. Each day over 200 workers descend upon this building to install windows, siding, brick, steel, run cranes, lifts, electrical, paint, and more.

Pini knew how to get all of the clients just what they needed. He kept everyone happy and kept the project on-time and within budget.

Pinnacle is proud to be a part of this prestigious project and proud to be working with so many quality people. Together we can all make it a huge success.
