Method of forming a substrate for a sports surface of a sports pitch, such a substrate as well as a sports pitch provided with such substrate

摘要

A method of forming a substrate for a sports surface of a sports pitch is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of agglomerating and granulating plastics materials to form granules having a predetermined range of sizes. The granules are coated in situ with a binding material so that they form a fluent material which is formed into a layer (11) on the site of the sports pitch (5). The layer (11) is set so the granules adhere to each other to form a voided water permeable structure. The method can utilise recycled end of life plastics.
