    Wall footing 6" over concrete sewer pipe

    Use a 2" layer of the "compressible foam" that Roofers use Under Single Ply Membrane roofs that are directly applied to hard surfaces,usually referred to as "cushion board" by SPM Roofers,widen your footing either side if the pipe. Have used this methodology for frost heave, it works.
