Actually small bore plastic drain pipe would make a cheap durable
conduit ! Just make sure that water cannot migrate into it. It would
also offer a measure of protection from the heat of the sun warming the
soil up.
I have a 25 year old 240 volt 40 amp feed that runs underground in a 40
mm plastic water pipe used as a conduit. Both ends are inside
buildings so there isn't any water collection problem. I did notice
that if an outside door was closed at one end you could feel a draft at
the other end, so condensation and water build up, due to lack of
ventilation wasn't going to be a problem.
