Based on the hydration thermal analysis of a pier bearing platform, the finite element software was used to establish an analysis model, and through a series of parametric analyses, the influence of cold pipe layout, different cooling water temperature, different cold pipe diameter (flow), etc. on the temperature changes of different parts of the pier was quantitatively studied, so as to take targeted temperature control measures in the construction process. Then, it not only achieves the smooth construction of the bridge pier base project, and also provides a reference template for similar mass concrete construction. At the same time, the following conclusions are obtained : 1) The overall temperature of mass concrete can be effectively controlled by the layout of 'three-piece serpentine cooling water pipe'. The maximum temperature of the body center is reduced to 47.18 °C, and the maximum temperature is advanced to the fourth day after pouring. The temperature difference between the body center and the other three surface centers is less than 25 °C. 2) Under different flow rate cooling conditions, the greater the cooling water flow rate, the more obvious the temperature control effect. As the flow rate increased from 0.9 m3/h to 3.6 m3/h, the maximum temperature drop of the body center decreased from 49.71 °C to 45.28 °C, and the maximum temperature arrived earlier. 3) Under different water temperature cooling conditions, the lower the water temperature, the more obvious the temperature control effect. With the decrease of water temperature from 20 °C to 10 °C, the highest temperature of body center decreased from 47.39 °C to 42.99 °C, and the highest temperature arrived earlier.
