Nissan Car Plant Sunderland

Clarke Instruments Ltd in conjunction with Hayden Young has completed the design, manufacture and installation of turnstiles, gates and canopies for the Nissan car plant in Sunderland.

Each of the turnstiles comprise of a 120 degree stainless steel hooped bar rotor, electrically released in both direction via a proximity card access control system with a special dual illuminated push to exit switch, only operational when authorised by the access control system. Clarke Instruments has incorporated in the turnstile design a canopy with drainage to offer protection against the elements to its users.

To assist the passage of personnel through the turnstile a status light panel fitted adjacent to the each walkway with day light illumination will indicate when to proceed following a sucessful card authorisation.

An electrically locked gate fitted with a closing mechanism is installed adjacent to each bank of turnstiles to allow controlled pedestrian access.

To enable the turnstiles & gates to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements the static frames of the turnstiles & gates have been shot blast prior to galvanising then followed by a polyester powder coated finish in the customers required colour.
