We implemented a complete renovation of the old football pitch located in the GrIFK Arena air dome. The contract included removal of the old artificial grass, removal of the shock pads, and profiling of the base.

The installation of the new field was carried out by utilizing the old shock pads. In the structure of the new FIFA QUALITY PRO level football pitch, 27 kg/m² of sand and 2 kg/m² of cork were installed. The field has passed official FIFA QUALITY testing.

General Questions About FIFA Standard Football Pitch Construction
