The Seaview is a phenomenal historic seaside resort located on 670 wooded acres along Reed’s Bayon the Jersey Shore. Situated just eight miles from Atlantic City and only 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia, this elegant, turn-of-the century resort is easily accessible from several major metropolitan areas, yet provides a pristine, retreat-like setting. Seaview is southern New Jersey’s only golf and spare sort offering 36 holes of championship golf on two world-renowned historic courses; the links styled Bay Course or the challenging forest lined Pines Course.

The resort was founded in 1914 as a country club, hosting PGA events, presidents, and other prominent public figures.

Although steeped in history, Seaview boasts a tremendous array of modern amenities. The resort includes an elegant lobby, 270 well-appointed guest rooms, and 34,500 square feet of meeting and event space, including 21 meeting facilities. Also located on site are a health club, tennis courts, mini basketball courts, jogging trails, a fitness center, and a spa.

When the resort needed to replace its old heating plant, it turned to a nearby representative to come up with a steam alternative that would fit into a very small boiler room. The boilers were to provide space heating and heating for one of the pools.

Ultimately, four Series 1600 steam boilers were chosen which resulted in total output of 5644 MBH or 157HP.

Moving the equipment into the boiler room presented a unique challenge. Each boiler weighed 1700 lb and had to go down the old stairs to reach their designated space. To overcome this, the representative built a cart that carried each vessel which had to be tipped onto its back and lowered on to the cart. The cart was then slid down a temporary track overlaid on the stairs. The old stairs also had to have additional temporary support added beneath them. It was a very creative, interesting solution, and the boilers ended up fitting perfectly into the limited space.
