A sinking block in Tutrakan threatens the lives of dozens of families. Due to a long-standing sewer problem, the 8-story building has tilted about 25 cm and sagged 40 cm in recent months. To reduce the risk, the people of the block have organized a water regime, BNT reported.

There are 150 families living in the Vazhod block, but at the moment there are around 100-150 people left. The six entrances are semi-inhabited, and the worst situation is entrance “E”, where there are about 5 inhabited apartments. Many people have decided to avoid risk and not live here until a solution to the problem is found.

People are worried about their lives and their homes. There is constant fear in the family, the unusual crunch that is heard 24 hours a day, the stress is great, says Hristo Hristov.

According to Slaveyko Yordanov The problems with the disintegration of the bloc began in June..

“In a few days the two entrances collapsed about 30 cm, people got scared, they left the block. One part returned after about a month, a month and a half. The others stayed where they were, with children, relatives, in the villages “. he said.

At the moment there is still electricity, the neighbors have a water system. In some of the apartments you can already see that there is a gap. The elevators at entrance “D” do not work, and at entrance “E” they still work. The mayor of the municipality, Dr. Dimitar Stefanov, learned of the problem on June 12. Residents warned that the block had collapsed 17 cm in 24 hours.

Turns out that the block collapses due to poor construction of the sewer system during the construction of the residential building 40 years ago.

“That same afternoon I sent experts from the Construction and Building Control Directorate to establish these faults. On June 19, with my order, a commission was formed to evaluate the deformation processes themselves and review the aqueduct and sewerage system ”. the mayor explained.

The commission’s conclusions are that there is both vertical and horizontal deformation, which begins during the construction of the block itself.

“We have collapse of more than 30 cm and we have a vertical deviation of more than 25 cm. Of course, the building is dangerous during these deformation processes. On November 30, the interdepartmental commission voted for funds worth nearly BGN 740,000 to strengthen the apartment block, “added Dr. Stefanov.

He clarified that there is a problem in relation to the start of fortification activities, it is public acquisitions that are delayed. At the end of the year, the public procurement will be uploaded to the municipality’s website and to the Public Procurement Agency. The mayor expressed his hope that by the end of January, beginning of February, a contractor will be selected and the fortification works begin.
