This paper introduced the current water self-recording devices, pipe jacking technology, equipment used, and construction procedures. It also elaborated the reasons, feasibility, construction examples and construction attentions of using pipe jacking tech - nology in float-type water level self-recording platform. In addition, comparison was made between the pipe jacking technology and conventional method. The self -recording water platform has been constructed at the Hekou Station. The results show that the pipe jacking technology is not only feasible, but shortens the construction period and saves the construction funds.
