Never having even attempted what you're about, my thoughts are truely stray
ones.

Me, I'd forget about tapping into a cast iron pipe imbedded in concrete.
There's got to be some way to connect to the sewer that's not under or in
concrete. Sewer pipe is cheap. So what if it take 100' of plastic pipe to
get to somewhere the sewer is surrounded by only dirt?
