Interxion have been providing interconnection hubs for some of the world’s leading digital businesses for over 20 years. Their client list includes Amazon, Google and Facebook. Their London Data Centre Campus in Brick Lane sits at the heart of the action, uniquely located between the square mile, the centre of global finance and Tech City, the 3rd largest technology start-up cluster in the world.

HBS were contracted directly by Interxion to undertake essential concrete and brickwork repairs to this exceptionally secure facility. The building is suffering from concrete cancer which is caused when the steel reinforcing within the concrete begins to rust. As the steel rusts, it can expand up to seven times its original size causing the surrounding concrete to be displaced and become flaky. In this case, there is serious spalling and loose brickwork issues at high-level.
