Key facts:
The proposed facility would see a world-leading advanced manufacturing cable production plant built at the Port of Tyne. In addition to the proposed main production building and the associated tower, the development would also comprise additional manufacturing space, testing facilities, materials storage buildings, offices, security infrastructure, cables storage spools and a gantry to convey cable and to load ships at the adjacent quayside.
The facility can be broken down into two specific sections:
- Section one would predominantly manufacture cables in a purpose-built manufacturing building, with a footprint of approximately 300m x 115m.
- Section two would be a 202m tall tower, which would be used to apply a protective sheath onto the cables.
