Where can I get 3-4mtrs of 130-140mm diameter tough plastic pipe?

I need to route a 110mm drain pipe accross the entrance to a lockup garage.
I can only dig down 200mm, owing to the wide footings. So I envisage
embedding the pipe in concrete, perhaps with some steel reinforcing mesh
for good measure, but if the pipe ever got damaged in any way - say, where
it exits the solid concrete, it would be extremely difficult to remove and
replace it. So I'm thinking of embedding a slightly larger diameter pipe in
the concrete (say 130mm dia), through which the 110mm pipe can be pushed.

Yes, I *could* bury the pipe deeper, beyod the reach of the footings, but
it would be a big hassle, and would get untidy, as the pipe really needs to
stay as close to the wall of the garage as possible, with no sharp bends.

It appears that the next size up from 110mm in foulwater drainpipe is 160mm
- but that would be too big for my purposes, as the maximum depth I have to
work with is only 190mm, and some of that (say 50mm) should ideally be
concrete covering the pipe.

Can anyone suggest where I can get 3 - 4m of 130mm dia pipe (cheaply)?

Thanks...

You'll be looking at the metric version of 6" pipe I reckon which is 160mm:

What'll be running in the pipe?

Ebay item 200800549063 is 150mm, for example. If you're worried about
it being too close to the surface, cover it with slabs before you fill.

Belay that - 150mm is the ID, so it would be too big.

It wouldn't be difficult to break a couple of inches of concrete with a
sledge hammer so you could do it again.

You could wrap the pipe in bubble wrap so you can pull it out later but
it means the concrete will be providing all the strength so you need
about 100 mm.

Extractor fan duct comes in a 5" version. Last seen on E-Bay:-)

That definitely looks like the solution. *Thank you!*
