Torqn Docs · Mining & construction operations

Stop losing time and money to buried procedures and guesswork.

Turn long manuals into fast, source-linked answers. Your people get information from your own SOPs, manuals and procedures—without digging through PDFs or pulling an engineer off the job.

Keep skilled people on skilled work. Keep the source in view.

The reality

487 pages of specs. One critical detail buried on page 312.

This is a system problem, not a people problem. Your people want to follow procedures. But when the answer is buried in shared drives, they either spend ages searching, interrupt someone senior or work from memory. You pay for the wasted time—and carry the risk of missed steps.

  • Critical procedures buried in shared drivesSOPs, JSAs and manuals exist, but the right document can be difficult to locate when the job is waiting.
  • Workers can’t find the right informationThey may search, rely on memory or interrupt a supervisor who is already stretched thin.
  • Guesswork creates riskWhen people cannot get the information they need, procedures get missed. The consequences can be incidents, downtime and audit failures.

Answers come with the document, section and page they came from. Operators can open the original source directly from the answer and check it themselves.

Zero training required

If someone can type a text message, they can use Torqn Docs. Ask a question in plain English and get an answer. No product training required.

The method

The Verified Site Intelligence Framework.

Answers from your own documents. Industry context built in. A source you can check—and guardrails that stop the system filling gaps with invented procedures.

01 — Secure document library

Bring together the SOPs, JSAs, manuals and project files your team needs to reference.

02 — Industrial context

Understands mining terminology, equipment names and your site’s language. When someone asks about “LW”, it understands they mean longwall.

03 — Answer with source

Make the relevant document, section and page visible so the answer can be checked in context.

04 — Refuse without a basis

Built-in guardrails restrict answers to your documents. If the information is not there, Torqn Docs says so instead of trying to please you with a made-up answer.

Ask. Check. Get back to work.

Your documents, one conversation away.

Ask the question the way you would on site. See the answer write itself, with the documents and page references alongside.

A document library is only useful when the person with the question can find and review the right information when the job is happening.

Reduce downtime pressure

Give people a more direct route to the documents behind the task.

Protect engineer time

Move routine document lookup away from the people needed for higher-value work.

Support consistent checks

Keep the cited page and section visible instead of handing on an unsupported answer.

Keep source review practical

Make it simpler to locate the current approved documentation before acting.

Questions

Straight answers to practical questions.

Start with the documents and questions that create the most searching and interruptions in your operation.

How secure is my data?
Your documents stay in your workspace, with access controls for your team. We work with your IT team to confirm storage, security and rollout requirements for your operation.
What file types do you support?
Start with your PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, manuals, specifications and procedures. Bring your document set to the demo so we can confirm the formats and drawings your operation needs.
How accurate are the answers?
Torqn Docs answers from your own documentation, with guardrails against filling gaps or inventing procedures. If the information is not in the library, it says so. Answers include sources to check. Always use the current approved procedure before acting.
Can I share projects with my team?
Yes. Invite your people to a shared workspace and manage who can upload documents, ask questions and view activity with role-based access.
How long does setup take?
We help you add your documents, configure access and roll out to the team. Setup depends on the size of the library and how your files are stored. Using Torqn Docs does not require a separate product-training program.
What integrations do you support?
Tell us whether your documents live in SharePoint, Google Drive, Procore or another repository. We will confirm the current connection options and setup for your document library.

Stop searching. Start finding.

Your people have work to do. Help them stop hunting for answers.
