Plots of land located in close proximity to the boundaries of the water body within the city limits are used both for recreational purposes and participate in the creation of a favorable comfortable urban environment. Since the banks of water bodies are subject to change as a result of the influence of natural factors and human activity, the construction of a shore protection system is required to protect them. A study of the structural solutions of shoreline anchorages in urban areas showed that the use of concrete mats for these purposes is most appropriate. The analysis included a comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing and considered design solutions of hydraulic structures included in the urban environment improvement complex. Considerable attention is also paid to assessing the qualitative and quantitative volume of contaminants entering the water body during the construction of a shore–protecting hydraulic structure. In order to solve this problem, laboratory studies were performed simulating the process of concreting mats. The studies shows that concrete mats are a “clean coastal protection technology” compared to traditional technical solutions.
