No, I don't think so. Dependant upon the thickness of the concrete base, of course, but roots of such a plant will choose the easiest routes. It's not as though it's a tree, with massive potential, it's a climber, and not likely to develop a large enough root system. Sounds as though it's doing well though, that big across the stem.
