About Craterhab Chile

We help mining operators deploy habitat-grade environments adapted for high altitude: where low oxygen pressure, cold, wind, dust, and remoteness increase health risk and operational friction.

Purpose

Deliver controlled environments that support human performance and safer decision-making in high-altitude work and living conditions.

Where we operate

Chile and the broader Andes region, including high-altitude mining sites in Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina.

How we engage

Pilot-led deployments aligned to site needs, measurable KPIs, and practical integration into existing camp and operations workflows.

Craterhab technology

Craterhab is a modular approach to building controlled environments in extreme conditions. In high-altitude mining, it can be used to create spaces that are easier on the human body and more stable for critical work.

Controlled atmosphere concepts

Designs that can support improved indoor conditions for occupants at altitude, including recovery-focused spaces and areas for high-consequence work.

Thermal and dust resilience

Enclosure concepts intended to reduce dust ingress and provide stable interior conditions under cold, wind, and strong daily temperature swings.

Modularity and scalability

A building-block footprint. Start with a pilot module, validate outcomes, then scale to additional modules and larger site coverage.

Rapid deployment mindset

Configurations designed for practical on-site logistics: transport, assembly, commissioning, and integration into camp layouts and operational routines.

Human performance focus

Prioritizes workforce recovery, fatigue reduction, and improved readiness, especially valuable for rotating crews in remote high-altitude camps.

Measured outcomes

Pilots can be structured around measurable indicators, such as fatigue proxies, incident reduction, or operational continuity improvements.

How it helps high-altitude mines

Mines can use Craterhab-based modules to improve recovery quality, reduce fatigue-related risk, create more stable workspaces for critical roles, and add operational resilience in remote conditions.

Workforce welfare and retention

Human-centered infrastructure that strengthens safety culture, welfare outcomes, and retention.

Our deployment approach

We structure pilots and deployments around measurable outcomes, on-site practicality, and clear scaling logic.

  1. 1

    Site alignment

    Understand altitude profile, workforce rotation, camp layout, and operational constraints.

  2. 2

    Pilot design

    Define module configuration, KPIs, safety and compliance requirements, and deployment schedule.

  3. 3

    Field deployment

    On-site installation, commissioning, training, and operational integration.

  4. 4

    Measure and scale

    Evaluate outcomes, refine design, and expand footprint where ROI is clear.
