[why2025-terrain] URGENT Re: Can the compactors be on plastic plates?

[Rox]

Hi Thijs,

regarding:

They *must* be placed on rijplaten and they must be there early on Friday, before the trash compactors get delivered. The delivery *will* get cancelled if there is no stable and solid ground where the delivery truck and the trash compactors can stand. If there is anything we can do to help here, please let us know.

Are composite (plastic) pates fine for this, that's what we have a 
surplus of so that will be easy. If you need steel we need to steal it 
from somewhere else.

Please reply quickly, the steel plates will be placed starting tomorrow, 
and I need to give them printed maps.

Kind regards,
Rox

If you think it would be better to place them earlier (saves one/two big trucks during the event), we can probably change this with our supplier and have them be delivered earlier. Let us know what you think if this!
