The invention discloses a device and a method for burying a soil pressure cell, relating to the soil pressure cell application technique when monitoring the soil pressure during the risk evaluation and control in civil engineering. The device consists of a base and a sliding pushing guideway; the base can freely slide on the siding pushing guideway; the base comprises a soil pressure cell bottom shoe (2), a guideway wheel (3), a lead pipe trough (4) and a connecting batten plate (5); the sliding pushing guideway comprises a U-shaped guide sliding trough (6), a connecting steel plate (7), a position limit plate (8), a steering shaft (9), a steering steel wire (10), a rigid connecting plate (11) and an L-shaped screw (12). The device and the method for burying a soil pressure cell can be widely applied to the burying which is in the risky evaluation of deep pit construction of urban subway station or high-rise building and during monitoring and measuring the soil pressure; the survival rate of the soil pressure cell is high, the burying depth is not restricted, the positioning is exact, the installation cost is low, the data is true and exact and the regularity and pertinence are good.
