In Marina Del Rey, the rebar in the concrete sides of the marina are fed a trickle of electricity to prevent corrosion. I'm not sure how common this is though outside of marine environments.



Maybe not electricity, but sacrificial anodes are otherwise a thing on bridges, boats, water heaters…


It's called cathodic protection and it is common.
