About Tang Electric Inc.
Thirty years underground,
and still on the job site.
A Maryland family contractor built on the bores other companies turned down. Ownership walks the site, prices the work, and answers the phone — which is why the number we quote is the number you pay.

How the company grew
2000s
Directional drilling becomes the core discipline
Invested in boring equipment and tracking, taking on the crossings other contractors declined — under roads, drives, and mature landscaping.
2010s
Duct banks, manholes, and utility-scale scopes
Expanded into concrete-encased duct bank runs, precast structure setting, and multi-phase distribution work for commercial and campus clients.
Today
EV infrastructure and statewide project work
Charging station installations for facilities and fleet yards, alongside the underground work that has kept clients calling back for a quarter century.
How we work
The quote is the invoice
We price the work after we walk it. Change orders happen only when the scope genuinely changes — not when the schedule gets tight.
Locate before you dig
Miss Utility tickets plus our own private locating. A damage-free record over decades of boring is discipline, not luck.
Restoration is in the scope
Backfill, compaction, and surface repair are part of the job, not an add-on. Sites are handed back inspection-ready and clean.
Leadership
Rick Tang — Owner
Rick prices the work, runs the drill schedule, and is reachable at the office line during business hours. Clients deal with the person accountable for the outcome, not an account manager.
“Their knowledge of the process is second to none. The jobs are completed on time and for the quoted price. Bottom line, you get what you pay for.”
Richard Diller — 25-year client, Google Review
