OPINION OF THE COURT
 

  RENDELL, Circuit Judge.
 

  Cemex, Inc. (Cemex) appeals from an order entered by the District Court granting defendant Industrial Contracting and Erecting, Inc.’s (ICE) motion for summary judgment. Cemex raises two arguments on appeal. First, Cemex asserts that the District Court erred in holding that Cemex is collaterally estopped from pursuing its property damage claims against ICE as a result the jury’s findings in
  
   Carcaise v. Cemex, Inc. v. ICE,
  
  No. CA 01-00859 (WD.Pa. May 16, 2005). Second, Cemex argues that the District Court erred in concluding that the doctrine of
  
   res judicata
  
  served to bar Cemex’s claims against ICE. ICE cross-appeals, requesting that should we reverse the grant of summary judgment in its favor, we reverse an order entered by the District Court granting third-party defendant Minserco Inc.’s motion for summary judgment.
 

  We agree with the District Court that the issues raised here were essentially decided in
  
   Carcaise.
  
  Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the District Court’s well-reasoned opinion, we will affirm the District Court’s orders granting ICE’s motion for summary judgment and Minserco Inc.’s motion for summary judgment.
