Old gas utilities in way

Hi Everyone,

We're in the middle of a part self build extension and come to light we'd need to reposition the svp to avoid an awkward pipe run through the new roof.

Dug out the ground to where rhe groundsworkers have placed the drain run to reposition the svp.

On digging out thought I was in luck as the inspection chamber side inlet would have been good to place the new rest 90 into but looks like there are two old original metal utility pipes running across just where I'd need to place one right under the other and not quite enough for pipe between and if I went under think I'd be too low for the main sewer drain (yellow)

Without taking out the metal pipes any ideas of how to get around it? I'm happy to move the inspection chamber further away to allow the sweep to pass over it.

Black is position of new svp, yellow at bottom is clay pipe to sewer, purple is the metal utilities.

I can’t see the metal utility pipes, so unable to confirm anything. Depending where the utilities run, are you not able to position the svp where the spade is on that wall, and connect further down?
 
Hey @CBW

Yeah think that might work, I'll do a bit more digging to see if there are any others in the way.

I've circled the pipe on new pic
