Regarding basic corrosion protection in the marine environment, is corrosion protection applied to pile foundations?

What types of anti-corrosion coatings should be used? 2. The foundation has been treated for corrosion protection; does the pile foundation (pipe pile) also need to be protected against corrosion?
Corrosion protection should be necessary, right? But since the foundation is quite large, using special materials would result in high costs. For pile foundations, are there materials specifically designed for marine environments that eliminate the need for corrosion protection? Also, when you mention the marine environment, do you mean in the sea or by the seaside? If it’s by the sea, corrosion prevention isn’t very difficult. It might be somewhat difficult underwater or in the sea; otherwise, building aircraft carriers in China would be much simpler
In normal marine environments, a heavy anti-corrosion coating of grade C5 is used; the appropriate product should be selected based on specific requirements to ensure a longer service life for the substrate
Pipe piles need to be protected against corrosion; what I’m familiar with is the use of coatings combined with cathodic protection
