    Probably the ducting or if you really want to be sure use the red ducting for the esb power .
    Bury it deep enoung and use a bit of lean concrete around it before backfilling and it should be grand

    Not sure the job you have in mind but I found out lately cori pipe has come down a lot in price
    One foot diameter cori was 50 euro compare to sewer pipe 180.

    Sewer pipe is way superior. After spending a fortune redoing pipe work that a know it all builder said ducting would be fine for.

    I don't know about that , I've seen more damaged sewer pipes than ducting from stones or weight travelling. Now some people use 1 1/2 " light guage hydrodare as ducting and that isn't fit for much hardship compared to the red proper stuff .
    Of course most stuff is fine if you can bury it deep enough and backfill with proper stuff
