[0050] According to the embodiment of the present application, on the other hand, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 A cofferdam construction method is also provided, which adopts the cofferdam structure described above, and the construction method comprises: The first pile foundation 1 is vertically arranged along the first direction at the water inlet side, and the second pile foundation 2 is vertically arranged along the first direction at the foundation pit side. The coaming 3 is installed at the water inlet side of the first pile foundation 1 and the foundation pit side of the second pile foundation 2. The first pull rod 4 is installed to connect the two coamings 3. The second pull rod 5 is installed to connect the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2, and the second pull rod 5 is arranged in the second direction.
[0051] Specifically, in the construction of the embodiment, the first pile foundation 1 is vertically arranged along the first direction in the soil layer of the foundation 8, and the specific distance between the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2 in the third direction needs to be determined according to the cofferdam stability and seepage calculation. The water-blocking layer 701 is arranged inside the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2, mainly for filtering, draining, water stopping and supporting.

The welding position and the position of the ring buckle 6 and the length of the second pull rod 5 need to be obtained according to the cofferdam stability calculation. The spacing L of the second pull rod 5 in the first direction is the same as that of the first pull rod 4. The ring buckle 6 is welded with the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2 before the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2 are installed, forming a whole.
[0053] The present application is directed to the steel sheet pile cofferdam which bears the high water head and high flow velocity double pressure, through the second cross rod 5 which is additionally arranged in the first pile foundation 1 and the second pile foundation 2, the external force is effectively dispersed and transmitted, the stress concentration of the single pile foundation is reduced, thereby the cofferdam structure stability is enhanced, the bearing capacity and the anti-permeability are improved; meanwhile, the width of the double-row pile foundation cofferdam can be optimized, the investment is saved; the arrangement space of the cofferdam structure is reduced, the flow capacity when the river cofferdam is arranged in the narrow space is increased, and the applicable performance of the cofferdam in the complex environment is improved.
