2021 Tons of S4 Serrated Steel Grating: NJMM’s Landmark Project for the Russian Market
In the first half of 2026, NJMM achieved a significant milestone in its international expansion strategy. The company successfully completed a massive order for the Russian market: 2,021 tons of S4 Serrated Steel Grating, produced and delivered within a tightly managed six-month timeline. This landmark project, finalized at the end of May 2026, underscores NJMM’s manufacturing capacity, technical expertise, and commitment to meeting the rigorous demands of global infrastructure development.
Russia’s Growing Demand for High-Safety Steel Grating
Russia’s industrial infrastructure sector has demonstrated robust demand for high-safety steel gratings, particularly for petrochemical, power generation, and outdoor facility projects. The country’s harsh climate—characterized by freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and icy conditions—necessitates construction materials that can withstand extreme environments while ensuring worker safety.
Steel grating plays a critical role in Russian industrial facilities, serving as walkways, platforms, Stair Treads, and drainage covers in oil and gas plants, power stations, and wastewater treatment facilities. The demand for anti-slip, corrosion-resistant, and durable grating solutions has been steadily increasing, driven by ongoing infrastructure modernization and strict safety regulations.
Why S4 Serrated Steel Grating?
At the core of NJMM’s offering for the Russian market is the S4 serrated profile—the most popular anti-slip specification for Russian industrial applications.
Superior Anti-Slip Performance
Unlike standard plain gratings, S4 features precision-pressed serrations on bearing bars, delivering 30% higher friction compared to conventional surfaces. This critical advantage prevents slips in wet, icy, or oily conditions—common challenges in Russia’s harsh climate and industrial sites. The serrated surface has an extremely high coefficient of friction, effectively preventing workers from slipping, especially when wearing heavy anti-slip boots during winter operations.
Precision Manufacturing
NJMM’s competitive edge lies in our in-house serration-tooth punching model, engineered exclusively for S4 production. This dedicated tooling ensures consistent serration depth, uniform spacing, and tight dimensional tolerance of ±0.5 mm, far exceeding generic punching quality. Such precision is essential for large-scale projects where product consistency and reliability are paramount.
Certified Compliance
To ensure smooth market entry, all NJMM S4 gratings are GOST Certified. Each S4 grating undergoes hot-dip galvanizing with a zinc layer thickness exceeding 85 micrometers, guaranteeing compliance with Russian safety, material, and performance standards. The GOST R Certificate of Conformity proves that our products fully comply with current Russian Federation building and safety regulations, ensuring smooth customs clearance and successful project acceptance.
The 2,021-Ton Project: Scope and Execution
Project Timeline and Scale
The project was initiated in early 2026 as part of NJMM’s strategic push into the Russian market. Over the course of approximately six months, our production teams worked diligently to manufacture 2,021 tons of S4 serrated steel grating, with the final batch completed by the end of May 2026.
| Project Metric | Details |
| Total Production | 2,021 Tons |
| Product Type | S4 Serrated Steel Grating |
| Surface Treatment | Hot-Dip Galvanized (≥85μm zinc coating) |
| Certification | GOST R Certificate of Conformity |
| Project Duration | January – May 2026 |
| Completion Date | End of May 2026 |
| Destination Market | Russian Federation |
Production and Quality Control
Manufacturing 2,021 tons of S4 Serrated Grating within a six-month window required coordinated efforts across NJMM’s two production bases. Our advanced press-welding lines and dedicated S4 serration-tooth punching equipment operated at full capacity to meet the demanding production schedule.
Throughout the production process, rigorous quality control measures were implemented:
-
Raw Material Inspection: All incoming steel was verified against specifications
-
In-Process Monitoring: Serration depth, spacing, and dimensional tolerances were checked at multiple stages
-
Final Inspection: Each batch underwent comprehensive testing for galvanizing thickness (≥85μm) and compliance with GOST standards
Applications of S4 Serrated Steel Grating in Russia
The 2,021 tons of S4 grating produced for this project are destined for a wide range of industrial applications across Russia:
| Application | Description |
| Oil & Gas Platforms | Anti-slip safety for offshore and onshore facilities |
| Power Stations | Drainage and traction for boiler platforms and walkways |
| Industrial Stairs & Access | High-traffic, safety-critical stair treads |
| Wastewater Plants | Corrosion-resistant, slip-proof flooring in humid environments |
| Outdoor Facilities | Walkways and platforms in extreme weather conditions |
The S4 serrated profile is particularly valued in these applications because it provides reliable traction even when surfaces are wet, icy, or contaminated with oil or grease—common conditions in Russian industrial settings.
