Abstract
Abstract A method of providing a substructure construction for an artificial grassfield by providing a foundation on a layer of sand which is present or has been provided, said foundation for the larger part consisting of natural round sand or river sand to which a material of organic orgin is added in an amount of more than 1 weight %, calculated on the quantity of sand, whereby 60-70 weight % of river sand is distributed evenly among a quantity of 40-30 weight % of rubber particles.
