Case Studies: How a Custom Frame box culvert mold Helped Reduce Construction Time by 40%

Introduction

In the construction of underground infrastructure, box culvert molds play a fundamental role. However, not all molds offer the same performance. In this article, we show you how a customized mold can make a significant difference, with a real-life case study in which a company reduced production time by up to 40% thanks to a mold tailored to its needs.

1. The problem: generic frame pit mold that did not fit the work

A company dedicated to public works faced a common challenge:

• They needed large pits.

• The terrain was somewhat uneven.

• The factory lifting system was limited.

The standard molds they had did not allow them to produce parts that fit precisely, which generated:

❌ Delays.

❌ Material losses.

❌ Unsafe assemblies on site.

2. The solution: custom-designed mold by Industrias Relente

After analyzing the case, our team designed a fully customized frame pit mold :

• Adapted to the exact dimensions requested.

• With hydraulic system for quick demolding.

• Reinforced to support weight without deformation.

In addition, it is manufactured with moisture-resistant materials and treated for easy cleaning and maintenance.

3. The results: more production, fewer errors

Thanks to the new mold:

✅ The company doubled the rate of pit production.

✅ Alignment errors were eliminated on site.

✅ The demolding system reduced cycle times.

📉 The end result was a saving of more than 40% in total execution time for the prefabrication and installation phase.

4. Why a custom mold is a profitable investment

Although many customers opt for generic molds to reduce costs, in practice the opposite occurs:

🔧 A poorly fitting mold can cost you much more in errors, corrections, and delays.

👉 On the other hand, a custom mold guarantees performance, safety, and efficiency throughout the entire process.
