Your saying you can't run utilities into a foundation? No one has water and 
sewer???

I have water and sewer, but they come in through the basement wall. Those built on a slab most likely come in under the foundation as the foundation, water, and sewer must go below the frost line. I don't know what they do where frost isn't a problem, but that foundation supports a fraction of the load a self supporting tower base and I'd think a discontinuity, or penetration shouldn't be the problem it would be in a tower base.
