Abstract: The apparatus includes a water tight vehicular body of a low profile. A user controls the vehicle from a forward cockpit. The cleaning apparatus further includes both forward and rearward booms. The forward boom has a slurry trap interconnected to its forward extent. Additionally, a brush is secured to the rearward boom. Both the booms can be elevated and lowered to selectively bring the trap and brush into contact with the ground. Thus, the cleaning apparatus is adapted to be driven into the interior of a drain pipe. Thereafter, the booms are lowered such that the trap and bush come into contact with the surface to be cleaned. The vehicle can then be driven rearwardly. During the rearward travel, the brush serves to agitate floor contaminates into a slurry. Further rearward travel causes the slurry to become contained within the trap. Through this method, floor contaminates can be removed from an enclosed region such as a storm drain.

Abstract: The invention features utilization of a duplicate form for creating a conformal cavity which equally mates with an original form having the same shape as the duplicate form. The duplicate form is situated in the wall from the inside of the wall, elastomer is cured onto the outside of wall and around the duplicate form, the duplicate form is removed, and the original form is situated in place of the duplicate form. The shape of the hole in the wall is not in strict conformity with the shape of the duplicate form and the original form, but rather is characterized by a small aberration which leaves a space when either the duplicate form or the original form is situated in the hole. This small aberration, together with the elastomeric quality of the cured material, permits ingressive venting during removal of the duplicate form and egressive venting during insertion of the original form. In typical inventive practice, the manipulative steps are performed from the inside of the wall.
