Sewage Drain Pipe

I'm installing a new toilet in workshop. The footing for the foundation will be about 12" deep. Can I/Should I run the drain pipe in the same footing trench. I could bury it just below the concrete with the appropriate grade or I could imbed it inside the concrete in the footing.



My reason for this is so I don't have to dig another trench for the drain pipe.



What are your thoughts on this.



Thanks, Ray

Why would you even CONSIDER creating a hollow inside, or even NEAR, a footing? Dig another trench at least 12" (or same distance as the depth) away from your footings. My $0.02.

Thus the reason I am asking for input from this NG. I thank you for your reply.
