cost of corrosion study overview
The 2002 report, titled âCorrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United States,â includes results indicating that the annual estimated direct cost of corrosion in the United States was $276 billion. The study led Congress to develop a Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office within DoD.
County/engineer fees for a typical perc test might cost $150-$500 while use of a backhoe can add $300-$450 or more, for an average total of $450-$950 for a complete perc test.
