Zara Larsson Concert at the Shopping Center
In November 2024, a major event took place at the Westfield Černý Most shopping center in Prague to celebrate the new unveiling of the facility. The star of the evening was Swedish singer Zara Larsson. Our task was to secure the area by providing a stable surface for thousands of spectators and a durable foundation for the stage construction.
Logistical Challenges of the Event
Organizing an outdoor concert at a shopping center involved several key challenges:
- Securing the surface for the audience – the area was not adapted to the weight generated by several thousand people gathered in a limited space.
- Protecting existing infrastructure – the surface and ground needed protection from mechanical damage to return the area to its original state after the event.
- Stable foundation for stage construction – the stage, along with the sound and lighting system, weighs several tons and requires even pressure distribution on the ground.
- Quick assembly and disassembly – limited time for preparation and the need for efficient cleanup after the concert.
In such situations, renting road plates is the most rational solution, allowing flexible adaptation of infrastructure without the need to purchase expensive equipment.
Heavy Deck Plastic Road Plates
To secure the surface for the audience, we used Heavy Deck plastic road plates. Made from durable composite, these panels offer excellent load-bearing capacity with relatively low weight, facilitating transport and assembly.
The key advantage of Heavy Deck was its anti-slip surface, ensuring participant safety even in changing weather conditions. The interlocking system allowed for quick connection of panels into larger surfaces, and the material properties effectively distributed the load over a wider ground area, preventing it from collapsing.
Using these rental road plates allowed us to create a stable and safe surface for thousands of people. After the event, the plates were quickly dismantled, leaving the ground in pristine condition.
Alu Deck HD Aluminum Plates for Stage Construction
For the stage construction, we used Alu Deck HD aluminum plates, designed for extreme loads. The Heavy Duty variant features a reinforced structure that withstands pressures generated by heavy stage equipment.
The modular design of the plates allowed for the rapid creation of a platform of the appropriate size, and the high rigidity ensured the stability of the entire stage structure during the concert. Aluminum as a material is also resistant to weather conditions and does not corrode, which is important for events held in open spaces.

Road Plate Rental
The use of professional road plates during the event brought numerous tangible benefits. Full safety for thousands of spectators was ensured by a stable, even surface that eliminated the risk of tripping or ground collapse. The shopping center area was effectively secured and returned to full functionality without traces of the event after disassembly.
The modular road mat system allowed for efficient site preparation and quick cleanup after the concert. This is especially important for commercial facilities, where every hour of downtime means financial losses. The flexibility of the solution and the lack of the need to purchase equipment make road plate rental the most economical choice for one-time events.
Summary
The implementation at Westfield Černý Most demonstrates how professional temporary roads can contribute to the success of a large event. Providing a stable surface is a matter of participant safety and infrastructure protection. Investing in the right solutions pays off multiple times by avoiding the costs of ground repairs and eliminating logistical issues.
