Carolina Underground Solutions, a contractor providing drilling, boring, and trenching services for the installation of underground telecommunications cabling, has been acquired by Braddock Cunningham, former CEO of Network Controls and Electric, a telecommunications contractor in South Carolina.
“The combination of CUS with the proven experience of Cunningham will provide increased resources and improved services for our clients as well as a clear growth vision for the already successful young company,” said Jonathan Carawan, vice-president of Carolina Underground Solutions. “The acquisition is also expected to result in greater efficiencies and significantly increase our market share throughout the region.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Carolina Underground Solutions will continue to service upstate South Carolina as well as regional clients from Alabama to Virginia.
