This is intended to be general in nature. Is corrosion below the ground water table (e.g. for piling) typically a concern?
 
In general, corrosion underground, below the water table - no problem.
Corrosion underground, above the water table - variable but not usually serious.

Download "NBS Monograph 58, Corrosion of Steel Pilings in Soils" from this page of my website

The "Bethlehem Steel H Piles" document, downloadable from the same page, also discusses the issue on page 27.
