At this local Las Vegas hotel CWF came in to help based on prior partnership with the property’s new Director of Engineering. With the new staff in place a comprehensive review of the property’s mechanical systems was the next step. After the review, it was identified that two of three existing Raypak domestic hot water boilers were nearing failure. Recognizing the need for a reliable long-term solution, they reached out to CWF to evaluate the facility and provide recommendations for a boiler retrofit project. After performing a thorough site assessment, reviewing both the property’s hot water demands and the condition of the existing equipment, CWF proposed the installation of three new Raypak MVB Category II/IV near-condensing boilers along with two system booster pump stations. The proposal was accepted, and equipment was promptly ordered.

Project timing was critical. With the busy summer season coming to an end, all equipment delivery, installation, startup, and commissioning activities needed to be completed before the fall of 2026 to ensure uninterrupted guest services. The project presented several significant logistical and operational challenges. First, the property is located directly across from Harry Reid International Airport and within an active flight path. To facilitate rooftop crane operations, CWF coordinated with a specialty crane contractor that developed FAA flight-line plans for approval through the Department of Aviation. The plans were successfully approved, allowing crane operations to proceed within the required timeframes.Second, the domestic hot water system is essential to daily hotel operations, since the boilers provide hot water for guest showers, sinks, and facility operations; equipment staging, demolition, and installation activities had to be carefully coordinated between nighttime and daytime work shifts to minimize disruptions.

The installation team worked diligently to complete all mechanical, electrical, venting, and control system connections for the first two boilers. To ensure continuous hot water service to hotel guests, CWF operated on rotating daytime and overnight shifts throughout the project. Once the first two boilers were fully operational, the third existing boiler was decommissioned, dismantled, and removed from the rooftop by hand for transport and disposal. The final Raypak boiler was then staged, installed, piped, wired, and commissioned.

Upon completion of the project, all three new Raypak boilers were fully operational and integrated into the facility’s domestic hot water system. CWF provided comprehensive equipment training and operational familiarization sessions for all three engineering staff shifts, ensuring facility personnel were prepared to safely operate and maintain the new system.The project concluded successfully following the final state inspection and acceptance,the exceptional execution of the retrofit, combined with CWF’s demonstrated expertise in boiler systems and commitment to customer service, resulted in awarding CWF the ongoing boiler service contract for the entire property.
