Default 6 year old galvanised heating pipe - corrision

What could have caused the heating pipe to corrode so badly that it
failed? It was next to an external wall and lagged. The are a couple of
lengths of the pipe lying outside the building unused for the same 6
years, other than the threaded ends, they look new.

Most likely significant electrolysis due to a ****ed mains earth system and
bonding.
