What about servicing those turbines so they don't fail at all? "This dam powers our city since 4000 years." Sounds nice and Star Trek-ish doesn't it?

You can service them so they last forever as long as there are people to service them.

I'm talking about when a piece of infrastructure becomes a ruin.

Any metal parts will eventually corrode. Even if they start closed, they will eventually "open". The only parts that will remain after thousands of years are the cement parts.
