The invention discloses an offshore forebay limited space shield launching structure and a construction method, and belongs to the technical field of shield construction.The offshore forebay limited space shield launching structure comprises a hole launching
assembly, a counter-force frame and an unearthing mechanism, the hole launching
assembly comprises a steel sleeve and a semi-ring
pipe piece, the steel sleeve is installed at a launching hole and pre-buried at the launching hole, and the semi-ring
pipe piece is installed on the steel sleeve; the length of the part, penetrating out of the starting hole, of the steel sleeve ranges from 45 cm to 55 cm, and the semi-ring segment is installed on the side, away from the starting hole, of the steel sleeve; the counter-force frame is arranged on the side, away from the steel sleeve, of the semi-ring
pipe piece. The unearthing mechanism comprises a
winch and a flat car, the flat car is used for bearing
muck, and the
winch is used for pulling the flat car out of the launching hole. According to the method, the occupation of the space in the offshore forebay can be effectively reduced, and the
water intake tunnel can be directly excavated by taking the offshore forebay as a starting well, so that the construction efficiency is improved, and the occupation and damage of large-area excavation and backfilling to
land resources in an
offshore water intake project are reduced.
