Got a 6" high density polythene pipe through side of an earth bank lagoon which we connect umbilical pump too. It's about 1m of the floor level but has a bend in it to go to floor level.
The banks are mainly stone and lined with clay. Built lagoon then contractor dug a big 'V' . Put some clay in then pipe and more clay (supposedly) before building back up to finished height.

Know of one lagoon with a 6 inch plastic pipe through the bank. The bank was drilled and the welded together lengths of pipe were pushed through, before glueing a patch on the liner around the pipe. There's a bend on one end of the pipe to go down to floor level and at the other a series of valves and a cube buried in the ground to drain the flexible pipe used to fill the tanker. The tanker fills a lot quicker than it did when it was filling above the lagoon and you always get a full load now.

When we built the lagoon we put a 9" twin wall pipe through as a duct, then inserted a 6" steel pipe through this, sealed the ducting with concrete and vulcanized the steel to the lagoon liner. The steel pipe had 2 x brass bauer gate valves on then a standard 6" bauer fitting for slurry pipe. Worked really well.
Stopped using this lagoon this summer and built a new collecting yard there, so the pipe has been taken out and laid down alongside the yard for now waiting for a project.
Make me an offer,

Did you dig the twin wall in through the wall? Who did you use for your liner?

Put the twin wall in as we were building the lagoon bank. Midland Butyl supplied the liner.

Just been been Googling and on another thread you said as you have a spread sheet to work out lagoon size vs capacity,do you still have it?

I may still have it on the desk top computer but it's got problems which I need to take it in for repairs. If you pm me your email address I will forward it on if I can get the computer sorted.
