The invention relates to an 
airflow fence structure suitable for a downstream bend of an approach channel and a construction method of the 
airflow fence structure. The 
airflow fence structure is formed by connecting a plurality of airflow fence units; one airflow fence unit comprises a bottom 
pier, a sand separation 
pier and a drainage fence successively from top to bottom; the bottom 
pier is a rectangular structure, the sand separation pier is arranged on the bottom pier, the vertical section of the sand separation pier is a right angle trapezoid, the side, close to the approach channel, of the sand separation pier is a right angle, and the side, near a river channel, of the sand separation pier is an 
oblique plane; and the drainage fence is arranged on the sand separation pier. The airflow fence structure is suitable for 
terrain where the approach channel of ship lock downstream has a sharp bend and the outer side of the approach channel has shoals, the elevation is significantly higher than the approach channel, and the amount of 
shoal excavation is too large or excavation is not convenient, and can effectively solve the 
engineering problems caused by such special 
terrain. The function of an airflow fence is to avoid hazards of oblique flow and 
sediment transport, to ensure normal navigation of the approach channel of a ship lock, to ensure normal upstream 
water level and flow pattern, to reduce the construction difficulty, to lower the construction cost, and the airflow fence structure has good prospects of promotion and application.
