MAWTS

Welcome to MAWTS Ageing Infrastructure, a start-up company comprising five final year MEng Civil/Structural Engineering students from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

At MAWTS, we are focused on the incorporation of citizen science into the monitoring of deteriorating highway infrastructure, along with conducting detailed structural analyses by implementing advanced modern day techniques.

As the vast majority of the general public will unlikely spend their day-to-day lives noticing structural defects - never mind reporting them, we feel an obligation as upcoming engineers to raise awareness and potentially save lives.

As a result, our website allows you, a member of the general public, a student, or even a practicing engineer or other professional, to learn what the various forms of highway infrastructure comprises, and what the main deterioration mechanisms are to look out for. From here, you can complete a severity calculator and/or complete one of our reporting forms, which will be stored in a database and be sent to us directly for further assessment. If necessary, this will then be forwarded onto the relevant local authorities.
