Underground ferrous assets: Susceptibility to failure map
This national digital GIS product produced by the British Geological Survey indicates the susceptibility of corroded underground ferrous (iron) assets (e.g. pipes) to failure, as a result of ground instability. It is largely derived from the digital geological map and expert knowledge. The GIS dataset contains eight fields. The first field is a summary map that gives an overview of where corroded ferrous assets may fail. The other seven fields indicate the properties of the ground with respect to corrosivity and hazards associated with soluble rocks, landslides, compressible ground, collapsible ground, swelling clays and running sands. The data is useful to asset managers in water companies, local authorities and utility companies who would like to understand where underground ferrous assets are susceptible to failure as a result of ground conditions.

This dataset is derived from seven GIS products including GeoSure soluble rocks, landslide hazards, compressible ground, collapsible ground, swelling clays and running sands and a corrosivity map. These are products in their own right, and are derived from the 1:50000 scale Digital Geological Map (DiGMap-50) and other data. DiGMap-50 is a product of geological maps surveyed since 1835. To create the Underground Ferrous Assets: Susceptibility to Failure Map, all the above datasets were given new attributes and some of the original attributes were combined. The summary map was created by combining data from all of the individual datasets. The dataset has been checked and approved by BGS.
