Perfectly feasible to do.
You need a minimum of 2" Styrofoam SM under the concrete to provide
'resistance to all the heat in the slab just being conducted down into the
ground (or the existing concrete if doing an over-pour). The radiant tubing
should located no deeper than 2.5" from the top of the concrete in order to
allow the surface to heat quickly with the minimum energy consumption
possible.
