Corrosion sensors for remote monitoring of infrastructure assets has become common in recent years. In this work, electrical resistance corrosion sensors have been deployed on marine wharves and bridges in three Australian locations. The sensors were used to evaluate the performance of jacketed petrolatum-based tape wrapping systems on steel piles suffering from accelerated low water corrosion and microbiologically influenced corrosion. The article provides a discussion of relevant corrosion mechanisms and the results of monitoring these systems in situ. An assessment of the results obtained for up to three years has been made.
