ᐅ How many conduits are advisable to install when pouring the foundation slab?

Hello,
The telecom and power lines enter my house through PVC conduit pipes, and the potable water comes in via a flexible hose.
A few meters away from the point where these lines enter the house, there will be a cistern with a pump. Is it possible to pull the electrical cable through together with the telecom and power cables? In that case, would two PVC conduit entries be sufficient? I am also planning to install an additional PVC conduit on the opposite side of the house to create another access point. All conduits will be DN 100.
Does this sound appropriate? Are there any alternative suggestions?
Thank you!

Yes and no, in the other thread I was primarily focused on how the house entry works.
Here, the question of sizing came up. Whether to use a PVC sewer pipe or a multi-duct conduit is initially open. See the examples in the first post, cistern/pump. Or are such things relevant in a different construction phase, just like electrical cables going outside to the terrace/garden shed/gate/carport.
Since the house entry *only* concerns the utility connections, everything else is implemented differently (how exactly?) ... drilling through the exterior wall (in the base area), or ...

It depends on how you plan it. I would do everything at once. There are also multi-utility conduits. In any case, a seal must be applied on the outside as well. If it’s already backfilled, you can dig up again...
100mm (4 inches) pipes are quite large. For electricity, garden water, telecom, 40mm (1.5 inches) pipes are usually sufficient. Just Google “multi-utility conduits.” They come in various combinations. Surely you can find something suitable for your needs.
As I said, I would do it all at the same time and lead the empty conduits out from the base area. Later, you can simply dig further wherever needed and pull through the cables.
