Normal maintenance would include regularly scheduled inspections to monitor soil settlement, proper French drain functioning, general wall condition, testing of pumping apparatus, etc. all included in the design spec. Repairs would be made based on scheduled inspections. With the use of high density concrete and other premium materials, proven construction techniques with constant quality control, and a sound maintenance program, the KFW could be expected to perform as designed for a minimum of 50+ years.
