Quote:The sand and rubber infill is placed in layers over the pitch (between the turf fibres) using a mechanically-operated spreader controlling the desired fill rate.
In between layers the pitch is mechanically brushed and groomed to avoid trapping any fibres.
The brushing and filling continues until the recommended infill level is achieved.
On completion of the infill operation the depth of the infill is checked with a depth gauge over a 10m grid of the entire pitch.
