That's not a desk job. I'll create the drawings, if someone else will do the climbing .
I raised the pipe using ropes, and a jin pole, same with the dish and the top tower section comes to a point with a mast bushing in its center. So the pipe was raised, than lowered through the bushing, dish was attached and the whole assembly was raised back up. I was securely attached to the tower with my work at heights harness.

As for the 750' culverts are the way to cross streets, if used I would run the cable through 1/2" black water line to help protect it. as for the 100m ethernet limitation, a poe extender solves that
