machinery coating will be the anode and you'll now see high corrosion rates on the machine rather than the foundation. You could put a high-performance coating on the SS foundation but I think the thermal spray and sealer approach is your best

I was once asked to examine a turbine in a turbine hall of a coal- fired power station in a large factory complex. The turbine was
