Two solutions, depending on the service:

First, for industrial applications make a spool piece with connection flanges at each end and a plate, square or circular about midway along the spool. The plate is sized co cover the floor penetration and will have holes at its outer edge to permit it to be dynabolted to the floor. Use a sealant between the underside of the plate and the floor and, combined with the dynabolts, you can make a strong waterproof connection. You have to make provision for the connecting pipe pipe expansion and movement, but you are already providing expansion/isolation joints which will most likely check out to be suitable for this additional demand.

Second, there are rubber boots available which can be slipped over, and strapped to the pipe and also attached to the surrounding surface (floor in your case). They are easy to seal but not especially durable. Your local mechanical building services contractors will source them for you as they will use them by the hundred for pipe flashings through walls and roofs. Your may need separate support for the pipe.

Cheers
