Bridge Abutment
Defence
A bridge abutment that ties into flood defences to act as a defence. If the bridge that an abutment belongs to crosses a water course it will also have to be defined as a channel crossing.
A bridge abutment is displayed in AIMS as a polyline showing the line of the defence.
Elements
An Element Type is a component part of an Asset Type. Each Asset Type (except Asset Complex assets) will comprise of a prescribed set of Element Types. Some Element Types are essential and must be present to define an asset of that Asset Type. Other Element Types are optional, to be included when needed to define a particular Asset Type instance. An individual asset may have more than one instance of each Element Type.
This table lists the Element Types applicable to this Asset Type.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Berm | The extent of horizontal ground between the watercourse or coast and a raised feature (embankment, wall, bank, gate etc.) | BER | No | 25-02-2020 | |
Channel Side | Used only for fluvial and tidal embankments. Describes the part from the channel bed to the top of the bank adjacent to the defence | CSE | No | 25-02-2020 | |

Attributes
An attribute is a particular piece of data that describes a property of an object. Each Asset Type is described by a different set of attributes, although there are some attributes that are common to many Asset Types.
The table below lists the attributes that are applicable to this Asset Type, along with the data profile requirements for each attribute and details of when and how each should be used and delivered.
