With the degree of urban underground space developing in China, the scale and excavation depth of foundation pit is much larger, and the surrounding environment is also more and more complex. Therefore, five cases of foundation pit design in complex environment have been studied in this paper. Then combined with local engineering experience, a design scheme of foundation pit adjacent to important facilities which is suitable for Qianjiang New Town has been summarized. Finally, based on the five cases, a simple model to assessment the complexity of the surrounding environment is proposed.
