The corrosion has the following particularities: 1) the corrosion environment is complex and harsh, and the tower foot part is prone to oxygen concentration difference corrosion and crevice corrosion, and if the quality of the protective cap is poor, the corrosion will be aggravated due to water penetration or surface water of the protective cap; 2) the corrosion is hidden, the tower foot is wrapped in the protective cap, the internal corrosion form and corrosion degree cannot be directly observed, and is easy to be ignored to cause hidden corrosion development and deterioration, and at present, if the tower foot state in the protective cap is checked, the protective cap must be chiseled, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the cost of manpower and material resources is high; 3) the corrosion prevention work is difficult, unlike the corrosion prevention of other parts of the tower, there is no systematic mature scheme for the corrosion prevention of the tower foot in the protective cap at present, and the commonly used way is only to replace the tower foot when serious corrosion is found, and there is lack of an early prevention treatment scheme; 4) the corrosion has great harm, the tower foot is a load-bearing component of the tower, and once serious corrosion thinning occurs, the tower will be insufficient in load bearing or uneven in stress, and is easy to collapse under external forces such as strong wind and tower icing, causing the whole line failure of the power transmission line, and thus, it is necessary to timely grasp the deterioration degree of the protective cap and intervene in the deteriorated protective cap in advance to prolong the service life of the tower foot and reduce the maintenance cost.
