Product geometry
Work from agreed dimensions, joint details and component drawings.
THE SHAPE OF PRECISION
Precast concrete moulds
The right mould starts with the finished product. Param manufactures steel moulds, cores and pallets for concrete pipes and other precast components. Define the geometry, machine interface and demoulding method before finalising the design.

South Africa / production brief
Pipes, manholes & culvert moulds
Plan around your actual product mix and existing plant. South African precast terminology includes manholes, stormwater pipes, catchpits and rectangular portal culverts. A portal culvert is a particular configuration, not a synonym for every closed box culvert. Share metric drawings and the specified product requirements.
- Product schedule, specified requirements and joint profiles
- Box or portal culvert geometry and existing mould interfaces
- Available utilities, handling, curing and installation scope

Define the equipment scope
Think beyond a single machine.
Machine interface
Check the mould arrangement against the machine, pallet and core interfaces.
Practical operation
Review assembly, release, lifting access and access for cleaning.

Questions, answered
Before you enquire.
Can I enquire about a mould for an existing machine?
Yes. Include machine drawings, interface dimensions and photographs of the existing moulds. Compatibility should be confirmed before an order is placed.
Why are joint drawings important?
The joint is part of the product geometry and affects the mould and pallet design. A diameter alone does not fully describe the required moulds.
How should I specify a custom mould?
Provide the product drawing, required tolerances, casting method, intended machine and handling approach. Agree on the final drawing and scope before manufacture.
