Abstract (EN): The present study introduces and compares several testing stations around the world. The scope of performing tower testing is addressed, followed by singular requirements of tower testing stations and main standards related with the loading tests. The main equipment and technical characteristics of testing stations in countries like India, China, Japan, Spain, Brazil and others countries around the world are described in detail. The paper concludes with an explanation of the present global distribution of these facilities around the world and their relationship with the actual economic development. Additionally particular major features of the tower testing stations described are highlighted. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
