The invention provides a confined water stratum shield receiving method. The confined water stratum shield receiving method comprises the following steps: (S1) end well soil is reinforced; (S2) two water stop spring steel rings are arranged in a tunnel hole door; reinforcements on the inner side of an enclosing structure are cut off; and after cutting of the reinforcements, sponges are filled between the two water stop spring steel rings; (S3) a shield tunneling machine is pushed to a place from the enclosing structure by 30-80 cm; tensioning devices are mounted on pipe pieces behind the shield tail in a range of 10-20 rings; the tensioning devices are specifically channel steel; holes are formed in plate bodies of the channel steel; the drilling positions of the holes correspond to the positions of grouting holes on the pipe pieces; and grouting heads extend from the holes; (S4) hoops are grouted; (S5) the enclosing structure is drilled off; (S6) the shield tail is retained; and a blockage steel plate is welded; and (S7) the hole door is blocked. The confined water stratum shield receiving method breaks through a traditional shield receiving process, improves the tunnel water separation capacity, guarantees the hole door sealing effect, accelerates the shield receiving efficiency, and meanwhile, guarantees the shield receiving and surrounding environment safety.
