India is undergoing
a sea change in
infrastructure development.
Like the Golden
Quadrilateral, North-South

Corridors, Railway
links along with
new Railway Stations
with world-class
facilities are considered
to be constructed
as means of improving
communications.
Ministry of Railways,
Government of India
has proposed to
develop four (4)
such Railway Stations

and Chalobi in Rajasthan
including the facilities
mentioned in details

GUIDELINES
The following suggestions
are made for design
of the Railway Station:
The proposed Railway
Station will be
of international
standards in its
features, quality,
aesthetics and visual
impact.
The Architects are
free to evolve the
Steel Structures
having any suitable
shape satisfying
the basic requirements
furnished in the
Brochure.
Larger column free
areas inside the
Structures are desirable.
INSDAG defines the
competition problem
to the architectural
design of the Railway
Station specified
in the basic scheme,
along with the plan
area indicated in
this Brochure. Innovative
use of steel in
the best possible
way in roof and
other structures
along with the associated
services is desirable.
Any other parameters
required for the
design may be suitably
assumed by the students.
INSDAG desires
that the Architectural
scheme should take
full advantage of
the unique properties
of Steel in all
its forms to provide
the basis of the
design. Accordingly
the followings may
be noted while working
out the schemes:
Use of steel to
the maximum extent
in structural framing.
Use of steel elements
in roofing, cladding,
fascia, stairs,
main entrance gate
and other areas
as far as possible
along with other
construction materials.
Use of Steel-Concrete
Composite Structures
could be proposed
because it may be
desirable to include
RCC elements in
some locations such
as slabs, foundations
etc.
Emphasis should
be laid on design
process and conception
of innovative steel
structures of various
forms tempered with
the practicality
of putting the concept
into reality along
with Structural
Stability.
As in all public
structures, Fire
Safety norms are
imperative, modern
fire protection
materials such as
intumescent coating
/ gypsum boards
/ vermiculite plastering
and / or sprinkler
system may be provided.
Encasement with
concrete may not
be adopted. High
performance paints
for the steel structures
may be adopted for
ensuring a maintenance
free period of 25
years.
DESIRED
CONSTRUCTION TIME
The Authority desires
to complete the
construction of
the Railway Station
in about one (1)
year.
