If you know what cables will be in the several runs of PVC, an alternative
is to lay them out next to the trenches and slide the PVC sections into
place over the cables. Then glue them as you lay them into the trenches. You
can include the pull rope in to the bundle for future use. This method has
worked for me at several locations.
Good luck,
