Are you sure you need to fill up the volume at all? It sounds to me like
you are thinking that once you dig out the pipe and put a new one lower
down
you will have a void where the old pipe was. But consider, you are going
to
have to remove as much material where you put the pipe lower down. You
are
going to have to remove the dirt where you are going to place the pipe
lower
down and put it... somewhere. So actually when you are done moving the
pipe
down you won't have any void.
