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.

impossible.......
