German term or phrase: Bauhafthaltung
In a text about cessation of mining activities with the possibility to recommission:

Die wiederholt vorgebrachte Anregung, zumindest einen Teil der Grubenräume jederzeit benützbar zu erhalten (Bauhafthaltung) würde nach durchgeführten Besprechungen mindestens etwa S 9 Mio. jährlich erfordern.

Is there a technical term for this?
