I have a TFTP server, and I want to install any new Raspberry Pis on my network to use the TFTP server to install the OS. How do I got about doing this, I checked the Documentation on the official website and I can't find the documentation.

Also how can I do this so I can reimage an existing raspberry pi if I don't have physical access to it.

Only the Raspberry Pi 3 can boot from network without special software on an inserted SD Card (you need to use U-Boot or a sepcial bootcode.bin on older models).

The instructions for the Pi 3 are here. Since you have a Pi2 , an alternative approach is to use a rootfs over NFS , as demonstrated by PiNet.

BerryBoot (Linux only) supports booting via iSCSI or from Samba/Windows Shares.

Because the nature of the Pis booting process , you still cannot skip the official second-stage start.elf bootloader (which now gets delivered over network).
