Wow, I'll have to let all the folks that I know that spend millions of dollars every year on cathodic protection for soil side protection on tank bottoms and buried pipelines in on this. They'll be very interested in this.

rotflmao. Read my comments above.
Good lord, lots of bad info here.
If it is rusting on the inside of the structure, you don't have to fill it with concrete and start over. Use a wire wheel to remove the scale and surrounding paint to get to the larger area. Once it has bubbled through the paint, there is going to be more rust underneath the paint in surrounding areas. Spray that with a good quality rust killer. That stuff works, I have used it for years. Then buy a bedliner kit from Al's Liner, follow the procedures on the box and spray it yourself. It will take 2-3 kits most likely. Personally, I would remove as much of the original coating as possible, but that would take a lot of time, and is up to you.

I have several friends that install FlatSafe shelters and I'd say at least 20% of their installs include pulling another companies out of the ground first. They crib their shelters and pour concrete around them so "in theory" no dirt touches the shelter. Some companyes set the shelter on the ground an pour side walls and call it good. Im not sure if FlatSafe does any kind of discount for someone who got screwed by another company but its worth a shot.
You will regret spraying a "bed liner" material, especially if the problem is coming from the outside. I sell coatings to many storm shelter companies and know what just about all of them use. Message me if you're interested and I will hook you up.
If the problem is coming from the outside, then he is already screwed.
You've managed to make iron oxide without oxygen. You'll be a trillionaire.
All of which are found below grade.
As someone whose job involves underground coatings, I'm a little lost.
So what say you, is the rust on the inside of his shelter coming from the outside?
No.
I'm saying I don't understand your assertion that it's not corroding on the outside as well.
