We have a concrete slab in the basement with hot water radiant heating and want to build in some partition walls. How do we anchor the wall to the floor without damaging the heating system?

Construction adhesive. Area must be dry and dust free.

In the 50's used contact cement. 2 coats on wood and floor.

In addition to the construction adhesive I would tie the bottom plate to the wall with Simpson metal "L" brackets about every 4'.
