if this is a suspended and well ventilated ground floor, then in

Given the 15mm(?) pipe is embedded in the EPS, there's only about 10mm
of insulation below the heating pipe.

yep. This is ok on an upper floor, but its not how I would heat a ground
floor for sure

Modern practice is concrete beams with 6" EPS blocks between, and
another 6" EPS on top with the pipe pegged to that, and then screed or
concrete.

If I had a suspoende firun floor Id lift the floor, put celotex between
the beams, 100% seal it witl foil tape and expanding foam as appropiate
then a system such as described on top...

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
