Abstract

A method for locating a rigid support body at a predetermined location with respect to an aperture in a wall of a facility is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: providing a rigid support body at a first position outside a facility, the rigid support body comprising at least one retaining element disposed in a storage position, and comprising a through-bore that extends through the support body from a first end of the support body to a further end; via a first pulling force applied to a first terminal end region of a flexible elongate member that includes a covered region located in the through-bore, urging the rigid support body at least partially through an aperture in a wall of a facility, the rigid support body thereby being located at a further position whereby a portion of the rigid support body and at least one retaining element supported on the rigid support body is within the facility and the retaining element is spaced apart from an inner surface of the wall of the facility; subsequent to location of said retaining element within the facility and in a spaced apart relationship with said inner wall surface, positioning the retaining element out of a storage position by selectively swivelling the retaining element from the storage position; and subsequently urging the rigid support body into a retained position whereby at least a portion of an abutment surface of the retaining element is disposed in an abutting relationship with the inner surface of the wall proximate to the aperture to thereby locate the rigid support body at a predetermined location with respect to the aperture in which the retaining element is disposed in a deployed position.
