How do I bridge a foundation/brick wall over a sewer pipe where the
sewer will be at a right angle to the wall's foundation?

set 2 7N blocks in the wall (1 each side), with the tops about 1 inch
above the pipe (distance is not critical). Use a standard concrete
lintel to span the top.

If there is some reason to suspect the load is not just simple walls
and stuff, you will need an engineer to caculate the lintel. But given
the span will be about 6 inches, it should hold up many many times the
weight of the wall.

Assuming this is a new build.
