Riggotts Brave Gale Force Winds To Line Nissan Motors At Port Of Tyne

Riggotts have just completed a new large-scale line marking project for Nissan Motors Manufacturing at the Port of Tyne. Port of Tyne is a gateway for world commerce as it is the UK’s leading and fastest-growing car handling port and also the 7th largest car handling port in Europe.

Nissan’s Port of Tyne car terminal is located just seven miles from the Nissan Sunderland factory. The factory is both Nissan and Europe’s single most productive car plant, having contributed almost one-third of all Nissan cars produced last year.

Riggotts was subcontracted by Rainton Construction Limited to line roughly 14,500 metres of parking bays at the Nissan terminal. Approximately 650 numbers and letters were laid down in addition to miles of thermoplastic white lines. Due to gale force winds and adverse weather conditions, the job wasn’t easy – but this is exactly why Riggotts was the perfect choice for the job. With a wealth of experience and professionalism, our operatives hunkered down and completed the job flawlessly despite the bad weather.
