The invention relates to a shield horizontal freezing receiving construction method which is suitable for shield construction in water-rich stratum and high-water-pressure stratum. The shield horizontal freezing receiving construction method includes the following construction steps that the receiving end head is frozen and strengthened by the horizontal freezing method; receiving is prepared; a freezing pipe is pulled out and a pipe hole is sealed and blocked; a hole ring reduction device is installed; tunneling construction is carried out in a freezing area, a water stop hoop is applied; theeffect of the water stop hoop is verified; a shield machine drives a diaphragm wall; and shield receiving is carried out. By adopting the technical scheme, the stability of shield reaching the receiving end, the safety of shield construction process of the receiving end and the smoothness of shield receiving process can be effectively guaranteed.
