ᐅ Rainwater / Well Water – Domestic Water System and Irrigation Circuits

deaffyHello everyone,
I am currently looking for the best way to route the water pipes, electrical cables, and control lines between our planned rainwater cistern (and possibly an additional well) and the domestic water system in the garage, and of course from the water system to the irrigation circuits through the garage floor slab. This is still in the planning stage, so there is flexibility in the design.
So far, I have only seen wall penetrations for basements, but I don’t want to build a garage with a basement.
Question: Does this need to be pressure-waterproof? According to the geotechnical report, the groundwater level is normally 2 meters (6.5 feet) below ground level, with the highest expected groundwater level at about 0.8 meters (2.5 feet) below ground. The groundwater is unconfined, so it is not under pressure.
Would it be sufficient here to embed one (or several, depending on the number needed) PVC drainage pipes vertically into the floor slab, then bend them horizontally at about 0.8 meters (2.5 feet) below ground level, and loosely pull the individual PE pipes for the irrigation circuits and inlets from the cistern and well through these, and then foam-insulate the PVC pipe?
Best regards,
