Employer knew or should have known that three uncured and/or unbraced concrete piers used to hold a pipe casing while new sewer pipe was being moved through the casing placed over Laurel Creek at Laurens Road, in Greenville, South Carolina, on or about April 20, 2006, by a crew of four employees using two excavators to hold the casing and pipe by chokers constituted a hazard of the concrete piers collapsing and striking employees or the free hanging pipe striking employees.
