A method and a mounting for the installation of powered equipment (1) in front of a sewer pipe opening (41) in a sewer shaft (50) is disclosed. Broadly speaking the method of installing the powered equipment includes mounting the powered equipment on the console which includes a resilient tubular member (40) shaped to be of a diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of the pipe. The tubular member is them compressed such that it may be inserted in to the pipe. Releasing the tubular member allows it to expand to engage with the inside of the sewer pipe opening. A powered equipment assembly is also disclosed. One example of the utility of this assembly is to act as a trap for rats using spikes (3) and/or a monitoring station.
