Catamarca plays on two mining fronts at once. On one side, lithium from the Salar del Hombre Muerto, where Livent —now Arcadium Lithium— has produced for years and is driving the Fénix expansion, alongside projects like Sal de Vida (Allkem/Arcadium) in full development. On the other, large-scale copper: Agua Rica, integrated into the MARA complex together with the historic Bajo de la Alumbrera, is one of the most important copper projects in the country.
These are different realities that share the same bottleneck: accommodation. Hombre Muerto sits in the Catamarca Puna, above 4,000 meters, in Antofagasta de la Sierra, one of the most remote and sparsely populated areas of the country. MARA, by contrast, is in the western part of the province, in mountain terrain but more accessible. Each demands camps sized to its headcount and the length of its phase.
High-altitude lithium mining and large-tonnage copper mining move hundreds of people in shifts, and staff must live near the operation. That makes housing modules, dormitories and complete camps critical infrastructure: without accommodation there is no construction or operation. Our modules withstand the altitude and cold of the Puna and assemble quickly, which is exactly what these projects need.
Catamarca has a good connection with Mendoza via RN 40, so we coordinate the delivery of modules and camps to the access roads of each project, planning the high-altitude stretches toward Hombre Muerto or the western roads toward Agua Rica. If your lithium or copper operation in Catamarca needs to scale accommodation, we solve it.
