Refined metal are in high-energy states, oxidizable or reducible by oxygen or something. I think concrete is low-energy, made of things already oxidized (Calcium carbonate, obviously the carbon is happy.) You might have things dissolving lairs in concrete and limestone and maybe getting something useful (lots of calcium?) but "eating" it for energy seems unlikely.
