The invention discloses an underwater bearing platform construction method. The underwater bearing platform construction method includes the following steps of (1) construction preparation, (2) steel plate coffering, (3) water pumping, (4) staking out in survey, (5) excavation of foundation pit, (6) pile head removing by chiseling, (7) underwater slush pumping, (8) cushion construction, (9) bearing platform construction, (10) concrete pouring, (11) concrete maintaining and form removal and (12) cofferdam removal. By means of the underwater bearing platform construction method, a bearing platform is stable and firm, meanwhile, a construction scheme is optimized, the construction period is further shortened, manpower and material resources are greatly reduced, economic benefits are remarkable, flying dust can not occur during construction, environment protection can be achieved, the accuracy during construction is effectively improved by the aid of secondary setting out of the bearing platform, the deviation is reduced, construction qualities are improved, and a whole pier column is stable.
