Instead of thinking about cutting through 4 inches of concrete and laying
pvc pipe down, why can't you rent a concrete cutter and just cut a 1/2
inch slit in the concrete, sufficient to lay down UG wire (or whatever
would meet the code) into the slit ??

Any reason why this would not work ?

It would work, but it is not to code. Any wiring (with the one
notable exception of grounding cable) in concrete must be in a
conduit.
