J. Molaison finds that the trial court properly found for a supply company on a worker's negligence claim that a shifting pipe fell on his foot during a
hydro pressure test at the pump station. The worker alleged that the supply company was responsible for ordering necessary “Star Pipe connections” but did not allege a product defect, only that the construction used incorrect parts. The supply company's undisputed role consisted of identifying parts for the project at issue from the project designer and did not supervise or install the pipe. Affirmed.

J. Griffin finds that an architect and contract administrator do not have a duty to protect an employee of a subcontractor from injury under the parties' construction contract. Under the clear and unambiguous language of the General Conditions and Design Agreement, the architect's “undertaking of periodic visits and observations by [Architect] or his associates shall not be construed as supervision of actual construction,” and the architect "will not be responsible for nor control the construction means, methods, safety precautions and programs.” Reversed.
