Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG), via constituent company HCS, has been contracted to deliver specialist water treatment services at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Based in Glasgow, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, formerly the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama is a conservatoire of dance, drama, music, production, and film.

The current principal is American pianist and composer Jeffrey Sharkey. The patron is King Charles III.
The Royal Conservatoire was officially founded as part of the Glasgow Athenaeum, from an earlier Educational Association grouping, music and arts were provided alongside courses in commercial skills, literature, languages, sciences and mathematics. Courses were open and affordable, including day classes for ladies, and the Athenaeum had a reading room, news room, library and social facilities. Apprentices could also be members.
The chairman at its inaugural Grand Soiree in the City Halls in December 1847 was Charles Dickens when in his opening remarks he stated that he regarded the Glasgow Athenaeum as “an educational example and encouragement to the rest of Scotland”. The Royal Conservatoire has a range of facilities, including several performance spaces: the Ledger Room, Stevenson Hall, the Chandler Studio Theatre, the New Athenaeum Theatre, and the Alexander Gibson Opera Studio (built in 1998, the first purpose-built opera school in Britain). There are around 65 private practice rooms for music students, each equipped with a piano with stool, music stand and chairs.
In this contract, engineers from PTSG Water Treatment Ltd will deliver a variety of water treatment services at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to maintain the safe management of water systems.
