The invention discloses a construction method for a rock riverbed bearing platform in water. The construction method includes the steps of construction of a cofferdam, transfer of protective steel canisters to a lower level, bottom sealing construction of the cofferdam, construction of drilling piles, water extraction inside the cofferdam and excision and removal of the protective steel canisters, anti-drainage construction and construction of the bearing platform, wherein during the anti-drainage construction, an anti-drainage structure is constructed inside the steel cofferdam, the anti-drainage structure includes a water-permeable layer, a bottom water-separating layer and lateral water-separating layers, and the bottom water-separating layer is connected with the four lateral water-separating layers to form an integrated type water separating layer; during the construction of the bearing platform, molding construction is conducted on the bearing platform in the water inside the integrated type water separating layer. According to the construction method for the rock riverbed bearing platform in the water, by drilling multiple guide holes in hard rock where the drilling piles are located from top to bottom, sifter holes are formed in the hard rock where the drilling piles are located to increase a rock fissure surface; moreover, by adopting a prestress anchor device to fixedly connect the steel cofferdam with the drilling pies in an integrated mode, so that the pile foundation construction progress and construction quality can be effectively ensured, and meanwhile, the integrated type water separating layer is arranged on the molding pile foundation after construction and can effectively ensure the concrete pouring quality of the bearing platform.
