Feeding Long wires through Conduit

I have a Mill in France that has a new Borehole, located circa 40
metres away, the Large size conduit (circa 5 inch) is already buried in
the ground, I am going to fit a Borehole pump 20 metres down the hole,
then run the wire through the conduit to the Mill.
But how do I get the wire to feed 40 metres down the conduit?, I have
read on the net that I could use curtain wire, but will this feed 40
metres without Kinking? I am reluctant to purchase a Quick cable set as
they come in 10 metre lengths and I would need to buy 4 of them for a
one off job.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Vacuum cleaner on the far end and suck a string through. Use the string
to pull the cable through.

I used a vacuum cleaner to pull 20 metres of hairy green garden string
through some 18mm garden hose - that worked OK. You would need a huge vacuum
cleaner to get decent airflow through a 5" conduit. It's almost big enough
for a small well-trained dog.
