Pair programming is one answer.
So is retaining engineers, so that, once they learn the system, are available to maintain/teach it, and more importantly, are invested in doing a good enough job, because they will have to be around to deal with the fallout, if it was not a good enough job.
There's no one answer, but I'd suggest that having an environment that retains engineering talent, and incentivizes good, long-lasting work, could be helpful.
