The invention discloses a deformation control construction method for an ultra-deep air shaft close to a river. The deformation control construction method mainly comprises the following steps that (1) a water-pumping shaft is arranged; (2) a control device is mounted; and (3) the shaft wall is controlled. The deformation control construction method is ingenious and reasonable in overall design, asquare steel pipe is placed into the air shaft and compacted and fixed by a counterweight block, in the pouring process of added plain concrete, the situation that the square steel pipe is liable todeform and consequently, the pouring strength of the plain concrete is affected is avoided, by pouring the plain concrete into the air shaft, the effect of supporting a base disc can be achieved, meanwhile, the overall stability of the air shaft when a shield crosses for excavation is further met, the situation that the air shaft is drilled for erecting the supporting face is avoided, the overallstructural strength of the air shaft is not affected, air shaft deformation and even water leakage are prevented, and the problems that due to the large water content of a soil body of the ultra-deepair shaft, the soil body is soft and high in rheological property, the shaft wall of the air shaft is prone to deforming, the structural strength of the air shaft is affected, collapse is prone to being caused, and the large hidden danger is caused to subway operation can be solved more effectively.
