Luis Kolle

Luis Kolle is the president of the Association of Engineers and Architects of the Metro in São Paulo, Brazil. He specializes in railway engineering and has voiced concerns about the effects of climate change on railway infrastructure. Kolle has noted that extreme heat can lead to the expansion of railway tracks, increasing the risk of deformation and derailment. He advocates for a reevaluation of current rail designs to better accommodate temperature fluctuations, suggesting that modern adaptations to historical designs, such as reintroducing expansion joints, may enhance safety in light of rising temperatures.
