Abstract: A repair system for repairing faults in a conduit. A protective skirt protects the leading edge of a repair sleeve on an inflatable mandrel. One or more straps hold the repair sleeve in position as the mandrel is inserted into the conduit. A release liner facilitates the removal of the mandrel from the repair sleeve after the resin in the repair sleeve has been cured. A calibrated hose within the mandrel provides a substantially constant temperature along the length of the mandrel.

Abstract: A liner for a closed carrier such as a sewer is pulled into place in a branch line by a cable which extends through the branch line into a main line and along the main line to an access point remote from the connection between branch and main. The branch-to-main connection is inaccessible to workers because of the small diameter of the carriers. The liner is pulled up to this connection by the cable and then cured in place thereafter the cable is removed and the liner trimmed as required. A robotic device having a cornering device mounted on it may be positioned in the main at the connection to facilitate movement of the cable around the corner from the lateral into the main.
