Steel & Structural Materials
NLS supplies steel gratings and structural fasteners for Saudi industrial and infrastructure projects, sourced in galvanized and stainless steel across standard load classes and bolt grades from 4.6 up to 8.8 and A193/A194 for higher-duty applications. Quotes run in USD against a structural drawing or BOQ, with delivery timed to a project's steelwork erection sequence.
What NLS supplies in steel and structural materials
Structural steel packages on Saudi sites split into two categories that show up on almost every BOQ: steel grating for walkways, platforms and drainage covers, and structural fasteners, the bolts, nuts, washers and anchor sets that hold the steelwork together. NLS sources both, with grating available in welded and press-locked bar formats, mesh sizes typically 30x3mm to 40x5mm bearing bar, and galvanized or stainless steel finish depending on the corrosivity of the environment (coastal Jubail and Yanbu sites usually specify hot-dip galvanized at minimum, sometimes 316 stainless in process areas).
Fasteners cover standard grade 4.6 and 8.8 bolts for general structural connections up through A193 B7 studs and A194 2H nuts for higher-temperature or higher-load flanged joints, plus anchor bolts and chemical anchor sets for baseplate connections. NLS quotes fastener packages by drawing takeoff rather than a per-piece price list, since a single steel BOQ can run into thousands of pieces across a dozen different grades and sizes.
How sourcing and pricing work
Steel and fastener pricing tracks raw material cost, which moves with international steel and zinc prices, so NLS quotes in USD with a validity window, usually two to three weeks, stated on the RFQ response. Lead time for standard galvanized grating panels in common sizes runs three to six weeks, longer for stainless steel or custom panel dimensions. Fastener packages ship faster when the grades are common (4.6, 8.8) and stocked, typically two to four weeks, extending to six to ten weeks for A193/A194 high-temperature grades or large anchor bolt diameters that need mill certification.
Why project buyers use NLS for steel and structural materials
A steelwork package that's short even a handful of the right-grade bolts stalls an erection crew on site, so NLS builds the fastener BOQ against the same drawing set as the grating and structural items, checking grade and quantity consistency before the quote goes out rather than after delivery. NLS is a Saudi-registered company based in Riyadh, prices the steel and fastener hardware in USD and handles local delivery in SAR, and mill certificates and material test reports come with the shipment as standard rather than as a chased-down afterthought once the steel is already on a barge.

What fastener grades does NLS supply for structural steel?+
NLS sources standard grade 4.6 and 8.8 bolts for general connections, along with A193 B7 studs and A194 2H nuts for high-temperature flanged joints, quoted by drawing takeoff rather than a per-piece list.
How long does galvanized steel grating take to deliver in Saudi Arabia?+
Standard galvanized grating panels in common sizes usually ship in three to six weeks, with stainless steel or custom panel dimensions running longer depending on mill availability.
Does NLS provide mill certificates with steel shipments?+
Yes. Mill certificates and material test reports come with the shipment as standard, matched to the grade specified on the drawing, rather than something a buyer has to request separately after delivery.
Can NLS quote a full steel BOQ including fasteners in one response?+
Yes. NLS builds the fastener BOQ against the same drawing set as the grating and structural steel items, checking grade and quantity consistency before returning one USD-priced quote.
