Inspectors do not like horizontal pipes in the concrete. The concrete will crack wherever they run because the concrete will be thin in those areas, and wrapping the pipe will just make the concrete thinner.

I'm sure they have something to wrap the pipe with or a different kind of pipe that you can use. I don't know what it is, but sometimes if you search long and hard, you find what you're looking for.#N#As far as pumping, I would only do that as a last resort. If you can have a gravity system as opposed to mechanical, that's the way to go.

Sounds like your in a bit of a jamb. While you should always pull permits and meet code, my experience tells me that while there is no need to wrap SCH 40 or 80 PVC embedded in concrete, you want to avoid embedded solvent weld joints. I would be more concerned with the heat generated as the concrete cures deforming the piping.
