Manufacturing building no.2 is located to the west of the main manufacturing and secondary manufacturing facilities.
The proposed main manufacturing and secondary manufacturing facilities occupy the centre of the site as far away as possible from the Jarrow Monastery, running north-south parallel to adjacent access roads, Nissan car storage areas and Tyne Grain.
The south of the site would accommodate incoming materials storage, a further scrap house, offices and security.
Internal site access, via the A185 road, is via 17m and 10m wide access roads along with appropriate footways to ensure safe access for site operators.
A gantry would transfer cable from the manufacturing facility to the storage reels and on to the quayside to the north.
The manufacturing tower is located to the north of the main test building. To the north of the manufacturing buildings are proposed test facilities both within buildings and external test areas along with finished cable storage on four turntables or reels.
A car park for around 400 vehicles is proposed to accommodate staff and visitors and would include main site access, a HGV yard with goods bays, around 25 disabled spaces and around 40 electric vehicle charging bays. Alongside a weighbridge and gatehouse, this is located to the south of the site with access taken from the internal port road.
Sprinkler tanks and a pump house are situated to the east of the site.
