A method for relining a pipeline includes using a composition of (a) a resin crosslinkable by a photoinitiator activated by an actinic light; (b) a resin that can stay inert or be cross-linked by a co-hardening booster; (c) a photoinitiator compound that is photoactivatable by irradiation with an actinic light source; and d) optionally, a booster/co-hardener compound that acts as a crosslinker of the inert resin to increase the overall mechanical, thermal and chemical strengths of the system. A kit for relining a pipeline with such method includes a first container housing (a), (b) and (c); a second container housing (d), which may be used optionally; a substrate suitable for being impregnated with the composition of the first container alone and optionally with the composition resulting from mixing the contents of the first and the second container; and, optionally, an actinic light source and an adjustable pressure air flow generator.

A pipe repair device includes a body defining a first body end, a second body end, and a middle body section therebetween; a foldable arm pivotably attached to the body to radially reposition the foldable arm relative to the body, the foldable arm comprising a first segment and a second segment, the first segment extending between the body and the second segment, wherein the second segment is substantially parallel to the body; and a locomotion subsystem configured to drive the pipe repair device through a pipe, the locomotion subsystem mounted to the second segment of the foldable arm and configured to engage an inner surface of the pipe.

A method of plugging at least one undesired opening in a fluid conduit can include introducing one or more plugging devices into the conduit, conveying the plugging devices by flow to the opening, and blocking the flow through the opening with the plugging devices. A system for plugging at least one undesired opening in a fluid conduit can include a deployment apparatus configured to introduce one or more plugging devices into the conduit, a sensor that measures a physical parameter indicative of leakage from the conduit, and a controller that activates an actuator of the deployment apparatus in response to receipt from the sensor of an indication of leakage from the conduit.
