Drainage pipes under driveway

I am currently putting down piping to divert an open drain at the front of my site. I am putting down 15inch piping. I was hoping to avoid using concrete piping under the driveway. Would a few inches of lean mix concrete around plastic piping prevent lorrys crushing the pipe?probably only need ten metres of lean mix. Would concrete suppliers deliver this little

It's currently an open drain at front of the site.it floods in one corner so putting down the 15inch to pipe it to underground drain which takes it across the road to a bog. New site so starting from scratch so no driveway there yet

Better off with the concrete pipes in my opinion. The same diameter in pvc will be weaker, even surrounded in concrete. You're better doing it once and doing it right.
