corridor connecting an annex to a pond-side building (in traditional palatial-style architecture)
An audit corridor is a passageway used to check for damage inside the dam embankment. Normally, it is off-limits to all but authorized personnel. If permission is obtained, visitors may be allowed to take a special tour. However, if the dam is designated as a "dam open to the community," it may be used as a tour course, but in most cases it is a separate passage from the original audit corridor.
