The invention discloses a sea area high-water-pressure shield method tunnel emergency tool change structure and a construction method. A shield tunneling machine is arranged below a freezing work platform, the freezing work platform and the shield tunneling machine are connected through a soil freezing curtain, the soil freezing curtain is composed of a front end vertical freezing structure and alower vertical freezing structure, a cutter disc is arranged on the end, facing the soil freezing curtain, of the shield tunneling machine, and the shield tunneling machine is provided with multiple shield pipe pieces. The construction method comprises the steps that the position of the shield tunneling machine is positioned, a sea freezing work platform is constructed, shield tunneling machine protection work is carried out in the shield tunneling machine, the front end vertical freezing structure and the lower vertical freezing structure are applied, positive freezing is carried out, and thefreezing effect is checked and verified; a repairing tunnel is excavated; a cutter disc cutter box is repaired in the repairing tunnel; and after repairing, a freezing pipe is pulled out. Emergency tool changing, cutter disc repairing and the like under the risk accident to the seabed shield tunnel can be achieved, the structural manner and the method process are simple, the construction risk islow, and the influence on the sea face is small.
