Quay

Defence

A quay has a primary function as a landing place for shipping, but it also provides a line of defence. Do not use quay if the asset's primary function is a breakwater; use the Breakwater Asset Subtype.

A quay is displayed in AIMS as a polyline showing the line of centre the defence.

Element Notes: Seaward face is only to be used in a coastal situation where the quay has two faces. In this case the quay face is the face pointing towards the land.
