That's what I am in the process of doing right now.

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,
