ABSTRACT: A Corrosion Assessment System has been developed to systematically measure and record various parameters associated with the ground water and atmosphere in mines. The measurements are complemented by qualitative and quantitative assessments of the condition of reinforcement and support systems relative to their time of installation. These measurements and assessments are recorded. Data have been collected at eight mine sites throughout Australia. These sites exhibit a wide range of ground water qualities. A correspondingly wide range of observed degrees of corrosion for similar ground control systems has been established.
