Piping Stress Engineer: Danny Finn
This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of STEM Ambassador Danny Finn, a piping stress engineer.
Danny works for a company that build facilities to liquify natural gas before its transportation. His specialism is in determining whether pipe work will survive its required operating lifetime. Using computer design software, Danny uses his engineering expertise to conduct stress analysis and check for potential breakages.
Danny studied physics at university, but during his first degree he had actually become more interested in engineering. He later returned to university and graduated with a second degree in Mechanical Engineering.
“Engineering is what I enjoy, it challenges me, allows me to give something tangible back to the community and has great opportunities to progress and earn a good living.”
