The invention discloses a foam platform for drilling on waterways. The foam platform comprises a machine station plate used for placing equipment, support legs used for supporting the platform, a drilling operation reserved hole and a hydraulic lifting system of the platform, wherein at least a square foam floating body is fixedly connected to the part below the machine station plate; the foam floating body is arranged in a steel frame; and the machine station plate is fixed on the steel frame directly or indirectly. The foam platform device for drilling on waterways has a simple structure, is connected firmly, can achieve rapid assembly, cannot be influenced by tides or water level changes, and is suitable for being used as a platform for conducting work drilling on waterways in areas, such as shallow water areas, offshore sea, and the like. Compared with a framework working platform, a ship type working platform, an oil drum type working platform, a raft type working platform, a lifting ship body type working platform, and the like, the platform device has remarkable advantages, can meet the use requirement of drilling work in areas influenced by water level lifting, such as offshore sea, river shallow water, and the like, and improves the working efficiency and the economic benefits of drilling on waterways.
