Jeremy,
I failed to realize that your problem was with drains functioning properly and potential for structural failure or escape.
All of these issues are easy to prevent or fix.
There are several sturdy industrial drains availabe, think industrial irrigation, or commercial application.
As I mentioned earlier, use a layer of drainage rock to help prevent clogging, use suitable size rock for the set up.
Building an enclosure that can withstand the rigors of captive varanid husbandry is totaly feasable, if your enclosure cant hold the dirt you want, you need to design and build a better enclosure.
Changing dirt every few years is fine if it works for you, with all of the large enclosures I maintain it is not reasonable to have to change dirt that often.
Cheers,
Ben
