- 19 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for entombing a container within a homogeneous layer of concrete comprising the initial step of selecting a container having a container top. A base plate is placed on a support surface and wall forms are positioned on the base plate. The wall forms are fastened to one another to create a sidewall form. The sidewall form is positioned relative to the base plate wherein the positioning of the sidewall creates an open top enclosure bounded by the base plate and the sidewall form. A first portion of concrete is poured onto the base plate to form a bottom layer of concrete in the enclosure. The container is lowered into the enclosure until the container rests on the bottom layer of concrete to define a region within the enclosure surrounding at least a portion of the container. The container is vertically restrained within the enclosure, such that the container contacts the bottom layer of concrete on subsequent pouring of concrete. A second portion of concrete is poured into the enclosure in the region surrounding the container to contact the bottom layer of concrete before setting of the bottom layer of concrete wherein the first portion of concrete and the second portion of concrete form a homogeneous entombing layer of concrete about the vertically restrained container. The homogeneous layer of concrete is allowed to set and the wall forms and the base plate are removed from the concrete encased container. Also disclosed is the apparatus for performing the above method.
