Default Bitumen covered concrete floor

I have a concrete ground floor which has a bitumen layer on it. AIUI,
concrete floors are normally laid on top of a DPM - is it possible that the
bitumen layer is providing the damp proofing, or is it just to give a nice
surface?

My plan is to channel some TV/Satellite cables into the concrete inside a
conduit. If the bitumen is the damp course, could I restore the damp
proofing by covering the channel with a strip of DPM? Would I need to bond
it to the bitumen?

Cheers
Stewart
