Corrosion at base of pier

I purchased a second hand pier some time back for an observatory. It will need a good repaint but when I looked under the base I saw a lot of rust with severe encrustations that prevented it sitting level on a flat surface. I have ground off most of the crusting and also noted a lot of pitting as well. I think with a bit more grinding it should be flat and useable again.
I intend it to be mounted on a concrete pier so looking for suggestions as to What things I could do to avoid this happening again.
