Inspection and repair module

An inspection module for inspecting an internal side wall of a vertically erected structure, the inspection module comprising:

• a carrier;
• and
• a controller having an associated power source, the controller supported by the carrier, the controller configured to control operation of at least one data recording mechanism that includes at least one range finder configured to determine a distance from the inspection module to an internal side wall of a generally vertically erected structure in which the inspection module is deployed to inspect and to relay distance measurements to the controller;
• wherein the inspection module is securable to a hoist.

An inspection module for inspecting an internal wall of a conduit, the inspection module comprising:

• a carrier for supporting at least one data recording mechanism;
• an associated power source;
• and
• propulsion means including a set of driven tracked wheels controllable by a controller carried by the carrier and configured to provide, within the conduit, longitudinal forward and reverse motion;
• wherein the at least one data recording mechanism includes at least one laser range finder configured to determine a distance from the inspection module to the internal side wall of the internal side wall of the conduit in which the inspection module is deployed to inspect and to relay distance measurements to the controller.
