You might be able to rent one of the pneumatic boring rigs at your local tool rental outlet. For shorter runs, you can also use a backhoe - Dig a trench on either side of the road/sidewalk and then use the hoe to push sections of rigid underneath the pavement. You just thread on another section to the tail end of the previous section if you go over 10'. We've done that to push conduit up to 30'.

You should be able to find a utility contractor who has one. Pricing here in NY is about $10 foot which icludes the bore and placement of 1 1/2" HDPE pipe.

What are your options for getting around this other than destroying and fixing which is not an option? Is there a technology that would allow you to drive conduit underneath concrete drives and such?
