Timber
CONSTRUCTION TYPE AND MATERIALS
The gothic three storeyed structure has load bearing walls of
stone masonry set in lime mortar, with tiled roof over wooden
trusses and full boarding. The small dome and spires and
decorative parapet wall are made of limestone while the
terraces above are constructed of lime concrete laid on
wooden boarding resting on wooden joists. The dome and
central tower supporting it is made of 2 m thick limestone
ashlar masonry construction set in lime mortar .
A list of building materials and brief description
Stone
Many types of stones have been used within the building.
The masonry is with yellow Malad stone1. For architectural
detailing white limestone has been used, and at places a
red Agra stone has been introduced to add contrast. The
Malad yellow stone has withstood the weathering rather
well. The white limestone has weathered rather badly,
especially in places where it is directly exposed, like the
cornices, and the pinnacles. The limestone at such places
appears porous and brittle.
CHHATRAPATHI SHIVAJI TERMINUS
Timber used is Burma teak wood. All the structural teak
appears to be in good condition, except in few places
where it is attacked by wood bores. The timber used in
boarding also seems to be in good condition. Most of
the timber used in external door
Lime masonry
As in all masonry buildings, lime mortar is used for
construction. It appears that sand dust has been added
for pozzolonic effect.
Cast iron and wrought iron
The Condition of the cast iron and wrought iron all over
the building is good and well maintained. They are well
painted and cared for.
Stained glass
Stained glass is used in the Star Chambers and quite
extensively in the main dome. Overall, it is in good
condition. In the main dome all the lower panels have
been replaced by fibre glass panels which look quite
incongruous, though practical.
