Based on the analysis of drum or roller method, trolley haulage method, sliding traction method and other passing methods, a new idea of empty push passing of large-diameter shield was put forward. The large shield moved forward on the reinforced concrete base and provided back force through the bottom assembled segments. It was technically feasible and economically more reasonable. By combing the station passing process, main difficulties of station passing construction were analysed as follows: The coordination between the base structure and the internal structure of the working well; Friction reduction and auxiliary measures for station crossing construction; Safeguard measures for vertical transportation. There was little experience in large-diameter shield passing station in China. The method of empty push passing station proposed has a good reference for similar projects.
