ABSTRACT
Large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects, such as this case of a modernized double-track railway for high-speed trains on the west coast of Sweden, are long-term endeavours that take decades to accomplish with regard to planning, legal and administrative implementation, finding technical solutions and construction work. There may be many competing definitions of the project and its various parts, and substantial ambiguity as to its nature (Latour, 1996). This makes such projects highly sensitive to contexts and contingencies and to rhetorical ways of articulating advantages, risks or uncertainties.
