INTERNATIONAL CORROSION COST FACTS
According to NACE International, one of the world’s leading authorities on corrosion engineering and control, corrosion costs are 3.1% of GDP for an industrial economy.
The figures are based on US Government funded research that analysed a number of key sectors:
• Infrastructure
• Utilities
• Government
• Transport
• Manufacturing
Detailed analysis, released in 2002, was undertaken to establish costs within each sector and calculate the cost to the US economy, resulting in the figure of 3.1%, which NACE calculates is applicable to all developed economies.

Every year more than $20 billion is spent on bolts and fasteners alone (NACE 2002)
Reports from the North Sea indicate that many bolts are corroding before an installation has even been commissioned with cadmium plated bolts failing after only one year and PTFE coated bolts failing within weeks.
BP in the UK showed costs between £150,000 and £250,000 for retrospective bolt preservation on each of their North Sea assets (BP 2000).
Around the world there are more than 7,000 offshore oil & gas installations in place, many of which will have to be decommissioned in the coming years and decades. Over the next 10-20 years, an average of 15-25 installations are expected to be abandoned annually. In addition several thousands of kilometres of pipelines will have to be removed, trenched or covered. The continental shelf bordering the states of the European Community and Norway has more than 600 offshore oil and gas platforms and several thousand kilometres of pipelines.
