A client is having trouble with a testing facility they built, It is made completely out of 1020 plate steel and is a 8'x8'x20' chamber sitting on a dirt floor in a pole barn.
The whole thing is constantly rusting and water permeating from the ground is constantly wetting it making it impossible to paint(so i think).
Has anyone had any experience with penetrating oils or other measures to keep the steel from completely turning to rust. There is nothing i can do for the bottom contacting the ground but i was hoping to make the interior a lil better.
They definitely should have picked a better material but there is no going back now.
