Hi
I am building a conservatory and will put in footings for the wall at 1 metre, now a sewer pipe clips through the corner of the footings so it goes through 2 sides, it is also quite near the bottom of the footing. My question is, how do I bridge the pipe with it being so near the bottom of the footing ( if it was near the top I would lay the concrete let it dry then place the lintel on top) with it close to the bottom I can't lay a bit of concrete, let it dry, put the lintel on then fill in the rest?? or can I???
Thanks

Yes you can, just shore up each side pour your footings when dry lay the lintel across and fill with pea shingle.

Depends on the pipe angle.. he could end up with next to no footing in the corner.. might be worth considering re-routing the drainage around the footing or sleeving the pipe. It would also be creating an independant corner foundation that is liable to move separately to the rest.
 
Make sure footing either side of pipe goes down to pipe invert/disturbed excavation level at least.

as Pete (fluffster) has said, but you could also completely shutter the pipe - sides AND top, so long as the top has about 100mm of clearence.

we would stuff insulation around the pipe, within the shuttering, to prevent any concrete seeping in.
