Being somewhat more than a little lazy, I prefer to do long runs out of 
the trench.  Generally I find the lay of the trench and conduit rather 
arbitrary.  Certainly not precise except at the ends of both.  I 
assemble the conduit to one side of the trench, "modeling" the trench 
with the ends only slid together in such a fashion as to be a bit 
adjustable and sealed at the final installation. I lay plastic along the 
trench, lay the pipe on the plastic with overlaps included.  There's no 
need to mark ant pieces except those to be cut as the female pieces are 
already factory marked.  I'll spend an hour to save 5 minutes worth of 
work.  I did say I was lazy!<:-))

how I do it whether long or short runs.  The only difference is whether 
they are glued or not.
