Protection of corrugated steel buried structures worked in abrasive environment

Soil steel structures made of corrugated plates and sheets are used in infrastructure construction for structures of various use: bridges, viaducts, culverts, tunnels, pedestrian and wildlife underpasses. Depending on the use and associated environment, these structures are exposed to various corrosion conditions. Elements that influence the rate of corrosion are aggressive atmosphere, high salinity of water and air, splash zone, fast water flow that caries bed load material, constant contact with soil. Depending on the conditions where the structure will be erected, proper anticorrosion system is chosen. The article presents a protection of water culvert exposed on abrasion on the basis of the realized project in Estonia.
