The invention relates to a viaduct pier construction method. The method mainly comprises the following steps: foundation excavation, scaffold building, steel bar construction, formwork installation, temporary supporting, concrete pouring, concrete curing, formwork removal operation and the like. The supporting equipment comprises a bottom plate, an angle adjusting device and an abutting device. According to the invention, the following problems existing in the existing template supporting process can be solved: when a traditional formwork is supported, a large number of inclined wood supportsneed to be arranged, generally, one end of each wood support abuts against the top end of a vertical keel, the other end of each wood support abuts against a foundation pit sheet pile, supporting at the top end and the bottom end is unstable, the occupied area is large, material transportation and observation of the solidification condition of concrete are inconvenient, and time and labor are wasted in the dismounting and mounting process; and b, a traditional supporting instrument easily generates lateral pressure on the formwork, so that the formwork is easily deflected, and when the formwork is erected on the ground with the complex terrain, the erecting cost is high, and the firmness cannot be effectively improved.
