I don't think they would need to replace the glycol piping in the floor. Unless the concrete floor was structurally damaged from the weight of the water the pipng in the floor would be fine.
Even if the glycol pumps leaked and allowed sludge and floodwater into the pipes all you would have to do is pig them or flush them to clean them out. The ice plant itself is outside of the under the rink piping and pumps and cools a glycol water mixture underneath the ice.
The pipes are most definately embedded into the concrete to facilitate good heat transfer.
