Corrosion damage to buildings can be extremely costly, creating a fundamental incentive for corrosion monitoring. Unfortunately, there are many examples that show a lack of pro-active corrosion monitoring, with costly repairs being required when corrosion had already progressed to an advanced stage. For example, a corroding roof on a computer warehouse was only investigated and tested when its precious contents were already threatened by rain water ingress and damage.

Further information on corrosion monitoring activities are outlined for:

The Peace Tower, a Canadian landmark in Ottawa.

The Golden Boy Statue, a Canadian landmark in Winnipeg atop the Manitoba Legislative Building.

Mawson's Huts, in the Australian Antarctic (yes, they actually did corrosion monitoring work there)
