What does "keeping in good health" mean in road engineering construction?
The significance of this health care is similar to that of human health care, in fact, it is to make foundation and the like last longer. Because the stone or soil or concrete of the foundation has not dried and solidified when it is just poured in, there are bubbles and cracks and so on. But after a while, it will become stronger with time. This is the so-called health preservation. This is just a metaphor.
