outside drain move

[crossioly]

I am building the footings for a conservatory.
There is a drain in the way of the trench that I will have to dig.
I want to move the drain approximately 2 foot.
Any one know how to do this?

What kind of drain is it ( is it a single rainwater drain or is it a manhole type drain with sewage running through ) and is the drain running across your trench or in line with it ?

Thanks for the reply DAZB.
It's a rainwater drain situated just underneath an outside tap. It has a metal grill about 4in x 4in square with a plastic cover of the same dimension.
It's just inside the line that my footings will take and appears to go directly down presumably into a soakaway channel.
I guess I'll come across the same channel when I turn the corner of the footing in which case I'll put a concrete lintel over the pipe if there is one too avoid crushing.

Sorry for the delayed reply . Bridging the drain with a lintel is definately the quickest and easiest way to go and with it not been a sewage waste at least if you do disturb it then it won't have you throwing up !!!
