This European Standard provides a basis for assessing the corrosion likelihood in soil of buried metallic structures such as pipelines, sheathed metallic cables, storage tanks, sheet pilings, support anchors, culverts and earth reinforcement.
This part of this European Standard defines the general concepts for the assessment method and lists the main factors influencing the corrosion of buried structures.
