The invention provides a pipe type base structure and a construction method thereof and relates to the field of capital construction structures. The pipe type base structure comprises a plurality of supporting pipes and a cover plate, wherein the multiple supporting pipes are arranged in a matrix mode, and every two adjacent supporting pipes are connected through a partition plate piece, so that a base body is formed; the cover plate is arranged on the top surface of the base body, and a plurality of rectangular compartments defined by the supporting pipes, the partition plate pieces and the cover plate are formed; the cover plate is provided with a plurality of compartment body through holes communicating with the compartments correspondingly; the wall of each supporting pipe is provided with a pipe body communicating hole, and the pipe body communicating hole of each supporting pipe communicates with one of the compartments adjacent to the same supporting pipe; and the length of each partition plate piece is larger than or equal to 0.5 time of the outer diameter of each supporting pipe and is smaller than or equal to 2 times of the outer diameter of each supporting pipe. According to the pipe type base structure and the construction method thereof, the pipe type base structure meets the requirement for spatial stiffness, and the situation that pull cracks are generated due to the fact that stress concentration occurs at joints of the supporting pipes and the partition plate pieces is avoided; and the spatial stiffness of the whole compartments is strengthened through the supporting pipes, and the defect that the stiffness of rib plate portions of existing cylindrical bases is small is overcome.
