Firefighting Operation After Collapse of a Vault Field in Vienna-Döbling

The Vienna Fire Department was alerted to a collapse in Rodlergasse in the early afternoon. Upon investigation, it was found that the floor of the living room in a ground floor apartment of the affected building had sunk by about 20 cm.

Vienna Fire Department Secures Exterior Wall After Vault Section Collapse

The building originally standing on the neighboring property had been completely demolished. Securing work was also carried out on the foundation of the affected house. For an unexplained reason, the exterior wall on the side of the demolished building moved slightly outward today, causing the collapse of a vault section and the sinking of the living room floor. Initially, the Vienna Fire Department removed furniture from the affected room and instructed the residents not to enter the living room anymore.

In addition, all apartments in the building were checked, and residents were instructed to temporarily leave the building. The Vienna Fire Department secured the affected exterior wall with switchboards, construction timber, and props by bracing it. In coordination with the building police, no immediate risk of collapse was determined. The affected living room and the basement room below were sealed off by the building police. Further securing measures will be carried out by a specialist company. All apartments can thus be used again by the residents (with the mentioned restrictions).
