A tool system comprises a crawler, one or more tool interfaces, one or more tools operatively in communication with at least one the tool interface and adapted to perform a predetermined function in an interior of a predefined space, and a power interface. The tool system is deployed within the interior of the predefined space, e.g. a drilling riser, typically after operatively attaching a tool to a tool interface. Power is to the tool system which is moved to a position within the interior of where a predetermined function is to occur and the tool used to perform the predetermined function at the position within the interior of the predefined space where the predetermined function is to occur. In an embodiment, tool system comprises a first tool adapted to perform a first predefined function, e.g. a cleaning function, and second tool adapted to perform a second predefined function, e.g. an inspection function, where the two functions may be performed in a single pass of the tool system in the interior.
