A tower testing station is a special plant for testing various design for towers for transmission lines and similar uses. A tower testing station consists of two steel stands and one or more foundations, on which a sample of the tower can be built. Testing methods include inducing strain by pulling cables against the towers. The pulling load is indicated through a strain gauge placed on the pulling point.
