Abstract
A method is provided for the autonomous assessment of pipelines. The apparatus combines commercially available mechanisms for pipeline assessment in a unique untethered pipeline assessment device that is propelled through the pipeline by the flow of liquid in the pipeline, thus allowing for the assessment of pipelines much cheaper, faster, safer and less disruptive to the community than the current assessment methods.
