Smart logistics for ducts and HVAC: safe shipping and on-time deliveries across Mexico and Latin America

Transporting ducts, spiral ducts, and HVAC accessories is not like moving standard boxes — these are bulky, deformation-sensitive components that must arrive with a clear installation sequence. At GG123 Mexico, we combine BIM modeling, automated machinery, and a national and international logistics network to ensure your materials reach the job site safe, labeled, and on time — throughout Mexico and across Latin America.

Real challenges in ductwork and HVAC transportation

Volume and non-standard geometry

Rectangular ducts and spiral ducts take up considerable space due to their shape and length. Without proper planning, freight costs rise and elbows may deform.

Surface protection and sealing

Each piece must travel with edge protection, plastic film, and proper strapping to prevent scratches, dents, and air leaks at joints and flanges.

Jobsite sequencing and storage

Receiving all material “in bulk” complicates control. Projects require packages by work front and level, with clear identifiers to install without delays.

How GG123 solves it

1) Planning with BIM

From the BIM model, we generate a part list and numbering for each section — rectangular duct, spiral, fittings, elbows, reducers. This enables zone-based packaging, optimized volume, and just-in-time delivery windows. The result: fewer movements, lower risks, and reduced costs.

2) Precision manufacturing with automated machinery

Our automated processes guarantee exact tolerances and consistent seals. Producing “to the correct size” from the workshop reduces rework and allows better stacking for transport efficiency.

3) Industrial packaging and palletizing

• Corner and edge protectors, stretch film, and strapping.
• Spacers to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
• Labeling by work front, level, and area (code, installation destination, and sequence).
• Packing lists ready for supervision and verification.

4) National and international routing

We coordinate point-to-point or cross-docking routes according to the project schedule. We implement delivery windows, assisted unloading, and in-transit tracking. We also manage exports across Latin America including Incoterms, packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and compliant packaging (e.g., HT-treated wood and bilingual labeling when required).

Competitive advantages that enhance your logistics

• BIM technology: logistics aligned with the model, no surprises.
• Cost savings: optimized volume use, fewer damages, and less rework.
• Time reduction: sequenced, ready-to-install deliveries.
• Automated machinery: consistent pieces that stack and ship better.
• Integrated solutions: engineering, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, and onsite support.
• Product range: square, rectangular, and spiral ducts, fittings, elbows, reducers.
• International coverage: proven experience shipping from Mexico to various Latin American countries.

Best practices for planning your duct shipment

Before manufacturing

• Define installation fronts and a realistic delivery schedule.
• Approve the BIM-generated part list (batches and sequences).
• Confirm truck access, maneuvering space, and permitted delivery hours.

During shipment

• Request a package list with codes and onsite destinations.
• Check anchors, straps, and protections on critical points (flanges and ends).
• Ensure cargo insurance and photographic documentation.

At site reception

• Controlled unloading by batch, on a dry and level area.
• Code verification and checklist against the packing list.
• Storage by installation sequence to avoid rehandling.

What we can ship (and how it arrives)

We manufacture and ship square and rectangular ducts (with flange/TDF), spiral ducts, and a wide range of fittings: connections, elbows, reducers. Each package is labeled and protected so your crew can install without delays — anywhere in Mexico or Latin America.

Conclusion

HVAC project logistics cannot be improvised. With GG123, you gain traceability, safety, and on-time deliveries throughout Mexico and Latin America. Our BIM-driven approach, combined with automated manufacturing and industrial packaging, results in cost savings and shorter project times. Ready to plan your next international shipment?
